Jotun Epoxy - WARNING and question

[prv]

Didn't you also receive the sheet with "by weight" figures on?

Yes he did, and the numbers printed on it were wrong, as Shepherds have confirmed.

Having applied both Penguard and Hardtop over the winter, I cannot see why you even considered mixing by weight; Pint plastic containers/ mixing jugs are just about the right size to get a good mix and volume to apply before the stuff becomes to be on the point of going off. Especially in the UKs weather. The west system also uses volume, by their pumps.
It also allowed a break in routine.

Moral of the story is to do it by volume, ..........................always.

I'm afraid I disagree having done it both ways.
Yes by volume is OK with Penguard HB, mixing relatively thin stuff 4:1.
Try it with thick gloopy Jotamastic that you mix (by volume) 7:1. I think you can be much more accurate dribbling it into a vessel on a digital scale rather than trying to get 2.5fl.oz. accurately.

I think you're mixing us up. It is I who had the weight sheet from Shepherds and found the error in it, which they have acknowledged.

"Didn't you also receive the sheet with "by weight" figures on?" .. Don't think I did...

"Having applied both Penguard and Hardtop over the winter, I cannot see why you even considered mixing by weight;" - I found it very easy; add say 500g of part A then 50g part B (or 125g depending on which I was using), dribbled slowly into the mixing kettle. No extra containers to waste, simple to do etc.

"Moral of the story is to...." read the instructions carefully !!

"Moral of the story is to..." have explicit ( & correct) instructions

PS - we are both chaps !!!

Absolutely!
I am utterly cream crackered having scraped about 1/3 of the boat (31ft) today. That stuff is like the hardest chewiest toffee you ever met! I will be speaking further with Shepherds.

Sorry for your problems.
Just a thought, but you could add "Surf", it works well on tool clean up
I buy stainless labels from the pound shop one for base and one for cat
