I finally opened the box from Exoticblanks, and used the resin for the first time, our temperatures are running in the high 80s low 90s and being in that range I used 4 or 5 drops (how do you measure the size of a drop?)of MEKP per ounce of resin, First let me say I like the ease of pouring out of the gallon plastic jug versus the usual steel can.
I noticed no difference in the cure time or gel time I experience with U.S. Composites Silmar 41 resin, my gel time was 17 minutes which gave me ample time to mix my colorants and pearl-Ex.
I also like the fact that it's being purchased from a member of the IAP and all in all is a great product, at first the color seemed to be a tiny bit more green than Silmar 41 then realized I was seeing it through a transparent container, but once I poured it into a mixing cup, it looks about the same, The price is a few dollars less than from U.S. Composites and for those of you that live in their area and can pick it up from Ed Or Dawn I think your going to get a deal that can't be beat, also they give you an easy to open and close bottle of MEKP not a little push on cap that is sure to get lost, (if your shop looks any thing like mine) I give it a three thumbs up.
