Just try putting 4 quarters on one side and 4 pennys on the other side balance it than add the quarter to the quarter and penny to the penny side and it will balance.

Hi Larry. . .I think you have something here, but it needs some clarification, starting with "Let's say you want to mix up 7 ounces of resin and hardener and at a ratio of 4 parts resin and 1 part hardener by weight. Here is what you do".RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Having made the beam and the cup setup,
I gather that you'd first determine what 5 of some coin, nut, bolt ,etc. of equal denomination or size would weigh 7 oz. You'd then pour (pore?) out enough resin to equal 4 of them in weight, add one more coin, etc and add hardener to equal the 5.
Is that the gist of the thing?

Here is a trick that I learned from a world champ. you take a long stick (8 to 18 inches) and get some items that weigh the same ( Dimes, Quarter,Dollars coins) Take 10 coins and put it in a little plastic cup. The cup has to be suspended by a wire loop going around and bent up to the long stick where you drill a hole and the hole thing pivots in.. The other end you do the same thing with a cup to hold the epoxy in. . With nothing in the cups it should balance. If not make it balance exactly in the middle of the stick. Now take the 10 coins put them on one side and put as much epoxy as you need in the other side and than find the balance point of the coins and epoxy. Add the 11th coin and pore in the catalyst in the Epoxy you will now have your 10 to 1 ratio. This is the same with 5 to 1 mix with 5 coins. This is fast and accurate. I had forgot how to do this my self till I was shown. I use to put one washer on a balance beam and dump washer on the other side till it balanced and I would have 100 with out counting and it works!! I counted it once just to make sure for myself

I know this is off topic but I need help with a mixture ratio for ACP's tooling resin and thought someone here might know. My digital scale died and I can't find one locally. The mixture ratio on the can is 10:1 by weight but no mention of mixing by volume. Anyone else use their tooling resin and have any idea what the mix by volume would be? Snowing like crazy here and I'd like to lay up a mold while the weather is bad.
Happy flying,
