We've been doing some priming of parts, but seem to be going through more catalyst then expected. The Mixing ratio in the Superflite manual indicates 4:1 (PrimerBase:Catalyst). The manual doesn't indicate if this is a by volume ratio or a by weight ratio. I thought I remember Billy, at PlaneFunAirplanes, saying he used weight, but not 100% on that.
So, those using Superflite, what mixing ratio strategy did you use? By Volume or By Weight?

Re: Superflite Mixing Ratio
Don’t know about superflite, but Stewart’s has 2 different ratios in their instructions: one for volume and one for weight.
Yes, they are different.
Anyway, best to check the SF manual. The superflite manual I have seems to indicate volume, though it is not specific.

Re: Superflite Mixing Ratio
We've poured through the Superflite manual and we can't find any mention of weight or volume ratio. Will probably have to contact Superflite on Monday.

Re: Superflite Mixing Ratio
Yeah, it says “one part something” to “one part something” etc., etc. this IMPLIES by volume, but does not specifically say so.
