plastic padding marine filler

[steve yates]

I've had a couple of tubes of these in the boat forever, and now about to use them to fill scratches and dents, but the packaging got damp and evrything is illegible. Anyone know the ratio of the little hardener tube to the big filler tube I should use when mixing them up? Thanks.

Equal length lines from memory

With those two pack things it always seems to be golf ball to a pea but worth checking elsewhere

I've got some, too. If I remember rightly, you simply squeeze out a bead of the same length from each tube on your mixing board, and then mix thoroughly. The size of the tube's nozzle deals with the mixing ratio. It's not very critical, ISTR.

Ignore me, I've only ever used tins, golf ball & pea. Lines sound much better from tube.

The relative size of the tubes will give you a guide.

Equal lengths from the tubes as suggested.

BUT it does not keep forever. Try a little before you actually need to use it.

He said the hardener was a small tube so golf ball and pea is absolutely correct.

Equal lengths as per the instruction leaflet is correct!

The actual ratio by volume is 100 to 2-3

For surface blemishes shouldn't you be using the Gelcoat filler

[Concerto]

Plastic Padding (now branded Teroson) Gel Coat Filler is 2% hardner to the filler.

I have that as well, but as the whole lot is getting painted it doesn't matter.

Thanks all, the two similar length lines makes perfect sense.

Why don't you weigh them and mix them in that ratio? Probably someone has stated this already?

OK I though the product was something like epoxy eg 2:1. I'd be pretty careful the way you handle the hardener (some can be quite toxic)
