Darren,

I had the same problem. When I called Timbecon, they suggested, without much conviction, that I mix them in the same ratio as the hardener volume and the glue volume. From memory, I think the ratio was 1:8. This worked fine for me. It is amazing that they still seem to think it acceptable to send out a product without any instructions on usage. They made out that it was an oversight when I called them, but it seems as though they don' t have any instructions.

I thought of working it out that way too but the bottle the hardener comes in makes it looks suspiciously as though it's a product in it's own right and I wasn't sure. Anyway, if it worked for you, I guess it'll work for me.

Their glue products have an air of 'backyard factory' to them. I've bought some of their yellow glue as well. I don't mind what they look like as long as they work but a data sheet would have been reassuring.

Darren,

Your only problem now is what to do with the other 750 mL of urea formaldehyde glue, once you have glued up your vanity top. Might I suggest that, since UF glue is perfect for bent laminations, you make one of these? Its relaxing properties would be perfect to soothe away the ravening cravings that Mrs Silent is prone to when she sees another $300 driver in the Pro's shop.

No problems there, Rocker. The bathroom vanity is a trial run for the kitchen and I'll have plenty of benchtops to laminate! Thanks for the suggestion though
