I contacted Jeffco in San Diego for remedies. I was told by a tech person, Jay, that they have a new hardener (3103) that has a 30 min pot life as opposed to the 15 min pot life of the 3102 hardener. Supposedly, the strength properties are equal to or greater than either the 3102 or the 3156 hardeners (hax-mat stuff). 3103 hardener ships regular UPS (not hazmat). What do you all think? I'm tempted to try the 3103 hardener simply because of my most recent BID layup. I had to cut off 1/2 of the hardened glass since I wasn't able to get it all down and stippled before the stuff began to get stiff. The strength of larger layups would be greatly enhanced if there was more time to get it down and get out the bubbles.
