Hi Stuart


2 part wood hardener. Having tried all sorts over the years, that's a
very strong opinion :-)

Fine, but that Ronseal stuff isn't 2-part, is it?


On reading the COSH data, maybe not, but then why the big plastic cap on
the can? That usually contains the hardener IME.
Can't vouch for it if it's not 2 part but maybe it works well enough
with an acetone solvent


strewth....
the big plastic cap is the "handy" kettle in which to pour some
(single part) hardener (styrene) and dip your (single use) brush.....

I would have thought the acetone would attack the plastic, otherwise why
package it in a metal container?

where's this "2 part wood hardener" then??

gotta proper link????

I thought the Ronseal link was it. Last time I used a wood hardener
(can't remember the brand) it was 2 part, and the plastic cap contained
a tube of catalyst.
If I needed a lot of this stuff I'd approach a GRP supplier because I
think on porous material the drying time with a single pack might be a
good deal longer than stated on the can.
