MAS Resin Question

[Captain Smollett]

I was looking at the MAS epoxy resin sold by Defender.com and was wondering -

Does anyone know if that comes with hardener?  I looked around the site and did not see that hardener listed.  Perhaps I just missed it?

Also, on the topic, what is everyone's favorite fairing filler?  I am planning to use the MAS microballoons.

Capn Smollett-

Believe the hardener is sold separately, much like the West Systems products are.  You can get the hardener at here, here, or  here.  Given summer temperatures, you might want to use the slow hardener, to have a bit more working time—it is the first link above.

If you are fairing something that will be underwater, I wouldn't use the microballon filler, since I believe that the microballoon filler can absorb water.  I would use the MAS milled fiberglass filler instead.  You can find it here. I think the fiberglass filler is a bit easier to fair than the cab-o-sil filler. 

Hope that helps.

D'oh.  The page I was looking at listed hardeners for the OTHER resins they sell, but not the MAS     - hence my supposition that maybe the MAS resin came with the hardener.  I have now found the actual "Hardeners" page, and of course, the MAS products are there, clear as a bell.

Oh well.
