Pardon me if this is an old question.
How much Smooth-On does one need to mix for a given bow?
I am going to make a 66" R/D longbow with three laminations and glass. I hate to waste stuff.
4oz of each is what I use. Your usage may vary.
What Jason said. I use the little plastic(not wax paper) bathroom cups for measure.You mix what you estimate to need,but have plenty time to mix more if needed. Be sure to use a different paddle for resin and hardener. I mix in a CLEAN plastic bowl with a smooth bottom,can usually pop out leftover glue after it dries. We wanna see the bow too!
If it looks as good as the spine testers Cupcake makes, it'll be a looker. Hap
Thanks for the data.
I am getting pretty excited about this. If things go according to plan I should be gluing Memorial weekend.
The first one will be fairly plain; but, the fantasies that I have for the future are pretty cool.
I look at bows like Norm Johnson makes and hope I can get within spitting distance of that caliber.
Stay tuned...
