porkmeatballs Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Alright guys, I've got another question for you. I just got some Alumilite Flex 70 (urethane) to make fins for my resin swimbaits. Can I mix the two parts by volume, or do I have to do it all by weight? I've never used the stuff, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglinarcher Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 First, mix the stuff in the containers very very well. It seperates some and you want a uniform mix, so shake up the containers first. Mixing by volume or weight will work just fine. It is more then close enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkmeatballs Posted October 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yeah, I guess I'll try mixing by volume. I think their website does say to mix by weight, but I really don't want to have to buy a scale unless it's necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Small amounts are easier to get "correct" with a scale, and you can get one at Harbor Freight cheap. Larger amounts are more then close enough. Larry Dahlberg normally uses the pump that puts out a fluid oz with each pump. So, he uses the pump and makes batches 2 floz ea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkmeatballs Posted October 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hmmm I will be pouring fins, so these batches will most likely be pretty small... However, I do have syringes that are pretty accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkmeatballs Posted November 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Do you guys know if it's fine to use alumidust in the urethane to give it color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Dye and alumidust will work with these rubber urethanes just fine. The bottles should have come with mixing directions, but Alumilite has good customer service . Give them a call and they will help you.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
