Resin Measuring Cup + Lid
Angel Chrome Base and Top Coats have an 8:1 mixing ratio of Resin to Hardener. Resin and hardener do not adhere to this cup so it is easy to wipe out afer every use. You can measure by volume or weight. To measure by volume see the Details tab below.
To measure by weight, you will need a kitchen scale that measures in grams and has a tare function.
An 8:1 mixing ratio means that you measure out 8 grams of Universal Hardener and add 56 grams of Base or Top Coat resin for a total volume of 64 grams or about 2 fluid ounces. Our Mixing and Tinting Guide can do the math for you in grams or fluid ounces!
The SKU codes for these products include: A3590, & A3591
How to Measure by Volume
- Find the column marked 8:1:1 at the top (it's the column furthest to the right).
- Notice that the column is divided into three vertical sections.
- Notice that there are 3 sets of horizontal lines in this column marked 1, 1, 1 - 2, 2, 2 etc.
- Ignore the third (right hand) vertical section of this column. It is used for thinner IF your resin requies thinner. Angel Chrome resin does NOT require thinner.
- Place the measuring cup on a box or shelf so that sits flat at eye level. Do not hold it in your hand. This is the only way to get an accurate measurement.
- Decide how much resin you want to mix up today. Remember that the mix will solidify in 4 to 6 hours.
- To mix up the smallest amount, pour in enough Resin to come up to the first (lowest down) horizontal line marked #1.
- Still keeping the lines on the cup at eye level, pour in enough Hardener to raise the total liquid level to the next line #1 - the middle horizontal line.
- THAT'S IT - you have now measured out 8 parts of Resin and 1 part of Hardener.
Stir the mix well with a wooden, metal or glass stirring rod. Do NOT use plastic to stir the mix - the solvents in the resin might dissolve it.
