Surface Preparation – System Three Resins, Inc.

How do I correctly prepare the surface?

See Technical Data Sheet or container for surface prep information.
What is the approximate surface area coverage for the product I am considering?

See Technical Data Sheet or container for coverage areas.
How do I measure by volume vs by weight?

Liquid products can easily be measured by volume; paste and solid products must be measured by weight. To measure by volume, the use of disposable cups with graduation marks on the side is adequate. Pour the Part A resin and the Part B hardener on top of each other, in the same container. For measurement by weight, a gram scale (for small batches), or a postal scale(for larger batches) is necessary.
What is the minimum application temperature for epoxy?

Different products have different minimum tolerable application temperatures. Please see the individual product pages on the website or the Technical Data Sheets for the product.
Can I use the hardener from one of your epoxy systems with the resin from another?

No. Epoxy resin systems are two-part products where each part is designed to go with the other in the specified proportions.
How much clamping pressure do I use for an epoxy glue joint?

Epoxy adhesives, being gap-filling glues, need only enough clamping to close the joint. Unlike other glues, epoxy requires low pressure and a proper film thickness of resin to make a proper glue joint.
