Terry,
My experience with the Ampreg 20 resin system is that it is far more air
sensitive than heat. Beware any large volume of air above your hardener! I
have finally found it is best to decant the large container of hardener
into small glass food preserving bottles, like Vacola or the type which
seal down with a wire mechanism that compresses onto an orange rubber seal.
This will minimise the air above the hardener during storage. I get
fluctuations of temperature in my workshop from the mid 30's to as low as
14 degrees C, which I know is not very cold, or hot particularly. Even in
my resin pump I use a plastic food storage bag draped over the edges down
to just above the hardener to isolate it from the air that would otherwise
be entrapped.
If you ask Mr Ampreg you will find out that I speak from experience as I
probably funded there last years operation with hardener purchases!
