In Response To: Re: I had to peel off the glass! (lee)

Lee:

I buy resin in a clear, big "tupperware" pot and hardener in a small, brown glass bottle.

Since is just a two component mix, and is REALLY expensive, I double check the operation twice before I actually mix the two components.

But the truth is that I can't tell you if the stuff that is inside the brown bottle (supposed to be hardener) is actually hardener. Maybe, some genious at the hardware store put resin instead of hardener...

As Dale suggested, I'll test some resin and hardener and then I'll complain.
