Experiment ?

Worked real late last night trying to finish a matching set of stand up rods for Christmas. I needed to put on a final coat of Flex Coat on the wraps then i would be done. Mixed up a large batch and proceeded to coat one rod and then i had one guide left on the second one when i got up to get a drink and i noticed that i used Glass Coat hardener with my Flex coat resin. Oh well, figured i would finish the last guide. It was almost midnight when i fnished so i turned the heat up and hoped for the best.
Guess what, it worked with no problems at all. It dried clear and tonight at 8:00 it wasn't a bit tacky.

I am with Myles. I would not be surprised if most or all were just about the same

You think that all the Hardeners are the same, with different Resins? IS it the resin which give each epoxy different qualities?

Actually, most of the resins are the same. The hardeners vary more. The hardener used in the U-40 brand finishes is in a completely different chemical family.
