Product Details
Storage & Shelf Life
Store at room temperature. Keep containers closed to prevent contamination.
With proper storage, resin and hardeners should remain usable for many years. After a long storage period, verify the metering accuracy of the pumps. Mix a small test batch to assure proper curing. Over time, 105 Resin will thicken slightly and will therefore require extra care when mixing. Repeated freeze/thaw cycles during storage may cause crystallization of 105 Resin. Warm resin to 125°F and stir to dissolve crystals.
Hardeners may darken with age, but physical properties are not affected by color. If clear finishing, be aware of a possible color shift if very old and new hardeners are used on the same project.
