MEKP 8oz set - 1.25 Gallon, multiple 2oz bottles +3ml pipettes included for measuring; Use with FiberLam Plus, Venture Pour resin, most other polyester resins and gelcoats

• ✅ MEK-Peroxide is used as a catalyst / activator for Gelcoat, Polyester, and Vinyl ester resins
• ✅ MEKP is a hardener that triggers the chemical reaction needed to cure many types resins.
• ✅ A 2oz bottle of hardener is enough to cure one gallon of resin when used at a ratio of 1.6%. Recommended ratio: typically 1% or less (depending on temperature and humidity).
• ✅ Cannot be used by itself; must be used with appropriate resins.
• ✅ Comes in clear easy to use bottle and pipettes are included for easy measuring.
• ✅ MEK-P catalyst chart and measuring pipette is included here on this listing

This MEKP by Lab X Creations is for use with Polyester Fiberglass Laminating Resins distributed by Lab X Creations and is high quality, cost-effective and less time-consuming than others on the market!

Ensure the resin is catalyzed with MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide) so it cures properly. Curing times will be affected if not mixed fully or temperatures are lower than 72° F. The lower the temperatures are, the longer it will take to cure.

• Mix Thoroughly: Always scrape the sides and bottom of your container to ensure the resin and catalyst are 100% combined. Unmixed portions will leave uncured spots on your project. Use a smooth-sided container and avoid using drill mixing bits.
• Work in Small Batches: Mix only what you can easily apply within 7 minutes. Start with a 1-pint batch to gauge your working time. Do not mix more than 1 to 2 quarts at once, as larger batches generate excess heat and cure prematurely.
• Proper storage to maximize shelf life: store the resin and the MEKP catalyst in a cool, dark, and dry climate-controlled environment. Leaving it in a hot garage or freezing shed will ruin the product.
• Moisture: Applying resin to damp wood or working in extremely high humidity/rainy conditions can inhibit the cure, causing the resin to stay cloudy or tacky. Everything must be bone dry.
• Summer Weather Adjustments: During hot summer months, consider reducing your catalyst ratio to 0.75% to extend your working time before the resin gels.
• Proper Safety Gear (PPE) is Non-Negotiable: 
  • Ventilation & Respirators: always work in a well-ventilated area and it is strongly recommend a respirator fitted with organic vapor cartridges be used.
  • Gloves: Gloves must be used, heavy duty gloves are encouraged. Nitrile gloves are okay, but latex tends to be better. The chemicals in polyester resin can break down cheaper nitrile, leaving hands exposed and sticky.
  • If exposed skin comes in contact with resin, catalyst or both. clean affected area immediately. Be very cautious in use of acetone anywhere on or near your body. Use soap and water and clean vigorously and thoroughly.
