If you don't use hardener in paint that requires it, the paint may not cure properly, resulting in a soft, tacky finish that remains vulnerable to damage. This can lead to poor adhesion, reduced durability, and an increased risk of peeling or fading over time. Additionally, the lack of hardener can affect the paint's drying time and overall performance. Ultimately, not using a hardener can compromise the quality and longevity of the paint job.

How much hardner do you put in auto paint?

Different paints require different amounts of hardener. If there is a label on the paint it should have the ratio on that. One part hardener to the about of paint you use will usually be enough. You can't store the paint after the hardener is in it, it will set up in the can. ----- In actuality a 1:1 mixing ratio of paint to hardener (catalyst) will usually result in brittle massively overcatalyzed paint that will flake and/or chip easily. However as previous stated different paints require different amounts of hardener, alway request a Product Data Sheet (PDS) or Technical Data Sheet (TDS) from the paint manufacturer or retrieve one from their website before mixing.


How much hardener in auto paint?

The amount of hardener to use in auto paint typically depends on the type of paint and the manufacturer's recommendations. Generally, a common mixing ratio is 2:1 or 4:1 paint to hardener, but it's essential to consult the specific product's technical data sheet for precise instructions. Proper mixing ensures optimal curing and performance of the paint. Always wear protective gear and work in a well-ventilated area when handling auto paint and hardeners.


Can you use hardner and catalysis in paint at the same time?

Yes, you can use both hardener and catalyst in paint, but it depends on the specific formulations and intended application. Hardener typically refers to a component that cures or enhances the durability of the paint, while a catalyst accelerates the chemical reaction involved in curing. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility and recommended usage to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential issues. Mixing them incorrectly can lead to poor adhesion or finish.

Is there a additive to make gloss paint dry quicker?

That would depend on what type of auto paint. With base coat on most brands, the drying time is controlled by which solvent you use to thin the paint. With acrylic enamel it's drying time is controlled with solvent and a hardener.

Can you use glaze instead of resin and hardener to make a pendant?

Glaze is typically not a suitable substitute for resin and hardener when making pendants, as it may not provide the same level of durability and clarity. Resin and hardener create a chemical reaction that results in a hard, glossy finish ideal for jewelry making. It's recommended to use resin and hardener specifically designed for crafting projects to ensure the best results.
