: I am interested to note that several people on this thread mix by
: weight rather than by volume as
: stipulated by most manufacturers.
: Do we know that the specific gravity of resin and hardner are the
: same, because if they are't then
: the proportions of the mix will not be correct? The error would be
: even more critical when mixing small amounts.

The manufacturers give the weigh ratios as well - at least West Systems do.
to quote form their page - Dispensing without Mini Pumps (Weight/volume measure) - To measure 105 Resin and 205 or 206 Hardener by weight or volume, combine five parts resin with one part hardener. To measure 105 Resin and 207 or 209 Hardener by volume, combine three parts resin with one part hardener (by weight, 3.5 parts resin-1 part hardener).
