yenrec Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 What’s the best way to determine how much mixture to use when mixing micro balloons with resin? I guess I’m still a little confused after watching some videos. So I dipped my master and determined that The volume of my master is 72.5. So I mixed up 37 g of both part a and 37g of part b, and went with 10% micro balloons adding 7.25 g of them. Now I had way too much left over. Is there an easier way to determine what I’ll need based off that? Thanks in advance, just trying to continue to have as little waste as possible.

wchilton Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Total weight mixed was (37+37+7.25) = 81.25g Weigh the bait you cast with this mixture, let's say it was 50g Ratio of your bait to total mix is (50/81.25) = 0.615 Multiply each of you components 0.615 to get weight you should have used 37x.615 = 22.76 @ a and b 7.25x.615 = 4.46g MB 22.76 + 22.76 + 4.46 = 49.98g I would mix a few grams extra overall so maybe use 24a + 24b + 4.8 microspheres then you will have a small amount leftover and some loss to sprue and sides of container. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
