Yup I got it. Found it to be too soft for my liking. Talked to the guy. Going to give it another chance. It’s a 1 to 1 mix. I prefer 2 to 1 mixes. They to me are more durable. Going to give it another shot. 

Okay so how did it go ?  I talked to a guy today who said this is his all time favorite epoxy 8000lb tensile strength yada yada yada I’m wondering if it really is all that

@Steel Pulse I also am working with this brand and I can say it's gotta be the best I've used. Mix by weight if you get some (I think its like a 1.26 multiplier). It has about a 30-45 min work time before it's beyond 'spreadable' with an acid brush.

 

No air bubbles, no fish eyes, no craters or pull away... And if mixed by weight, after ~24hr it's rock hard. No indent if you press a finger nail in it. Good thickness on one coat as well.

I tried by volume 1:1. Turned out pretty soft.

I'm asking because I don't have the product handy as yet

 

I contacted the owner of Truecoat and got this reply

Hi Ed. The weight ratio is included with the instructions on the inside lid of the box.
 
 Just in case though: 
 
32grams of part B to 37grams part A.
 
 You can scale this up , ex 64g part B to 74g part A, 128g part B to 148g part A , etc. 
 
I do not recommend scaling it down though. It’s too easy to knock the ratio out of proportion in smaller amounts. I recommend using small measuring cups or syringes for small amounts 
 
Regardless of the amount: mix for one minute and let stand 5 mins before applying

Dividing 37by 32 = 1.1562 multiplier for a 1:1 mix Is that close to the  multiplier you used. 1.6 would be more hardener and I wondering if that yielded a harder mix your coating.
