Epoxy resin weight into MLS help
I was hoping some one could help I'm new to using epoxy I've got here the bottles of resin and a bottle of hardener resin 714 g hardener 286g they are meant to be mixed the correct mixture I want to do a smaller mix but don't have scales how can I measure my resin according to those weights but by mls instead and how can I mix a small amount just to try out out2 jewellery moulds to see how it works could anyone help

Can someone help me when mixing epoxy resin when is meant to be mixed by weight I don't have the scales wondering how I can make using mls and also what would the measurements be to mix just a small amount to try and test in mould destroying the whole lot basically want to do a practice run a small bit please help Jodielyn80 (talk) 19:00, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Unless you have a particularly critical application, just mix in the same ratios by volume as you would by weight. The density of both parts is similar enough.
 * I mix small quantities of epoxy (West System, decent stuff) all the time. I rarely do it by anything other than "stickfuls", and that's plenty accurate for good setting. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:08, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
