Mix Ratio
- Mixing inaccuracies which can affect the properties of the matrix system. The components should be mixed thoroughly to ensure homogeneity.
- It is important that the side and the bottom of the vessel are incorporated into the mixing process.
- When processing large quantities of mixture, the pot life will decrease due to exothermic reaction. It is advisable to divide large mixes into several smaller containers.

Safety & Health
- First Aid Information
- Contamination of the eyes by resin, hardener or mix should be treated immediately by flushing with clean, running water for 10 to 15 minutes.
- A doctor should then be consulted. Material smeared or splashed on the skin should be dabbed off, and the contaminated area then washed and treated with a cleansing cream (see above). A doctor should be consulted in the event of severe irritation or burns.
- Contaminated clothing should be changed immediately. Anyone taken ill after inhaling vapours should be moved out of doors immediately.
- In all cases of doubt call for medical assistance.
