I just didnt know how far a gallon of resin/ hardener would go when mixing with sand. Like will a gallon work with 50 lbs of sand or more or less than that?

I would mix a small amount to see, becuase only you know what kind of consistancy you want.

i typically pour the resin into the mixing/measuring cup. add the amount of sand or sawdust and stir until i reach the consistency I want. mix it "hot" and pour.

Hmm. I will have to try a few things this winter. Believe it or not, my roof build is flexing a bit. There are some signs of this on the inside so it may be time to fill in the roofarea between the skin and the inner build.

Hey Greg, to fill large voids in with resin and sand, if you mix it too hot the resin will still crack even with sand. We found 2 scoops of sand to 1 scoop of resin, but this will vary due to the type of resin and sand. We kept the cat at about 10 to 12 mills to 1 litter of resin. We used 5 gallons of resin per door, 10 gallons total. I`m not shure if you can judge that ammount for your roof tho. Happy pouring!!

i dont know what everyone else uses but we found that the real fine play sand works well. easy to mix and very little moisture conntent. and for the record we have used the oven to dry it out.

even the 4 and 8 pound foams aren't enough. you want something very dense to distribute and increase the internal velocity of the vibrational energy.

at the home depot... there is play sand and all purpose sand... but if you check in the garden department, there is another sand, Pavestone brand, it is a bit finer than what is available in building materials department. but you would want to dry it out... because usually it's kept outside, and with temp changes and weather... there's a bit of moisture in it. costs a lil more than what's available in building materials area... but may be something to look at
