: So, let's say that instead of ending right on the money at 144.0, I instead
: find that the SCALE display now says 154.0 grams, or 10 over. All is not
: lost.

: We know I have 10 grams of 'extra' hardener in there. Multiply that by the
: inverse of 0.44, or 2.2727, (or simply divide by 0.44) to get the amount
: of additional RESIN needed to bring the mixture back to optimal. In this
: case, then, I would add another 22.7 grams of RESIN.

That's ingenous! So, you do have a foil proof back up. I'm trying to figure how I could do that for my two pin method, but I think in my case, it would end up as a wasted batch.
