Agreed, I'm very familiar with MAS and use it often.

I suspect, however that Nick was using a polyester resin. Polyester resin is different from epoxy resin in several ways. One of the ways it is unique is in the mix of hardener or catalyst which varies based on the working time the maker desires.

With an epoxy resin, your working time varies based on the type of hardener used, not the amount.

Sorry if I was unclear before.
