I just pulled out their info sheet next to the can (all the pages were stuck together  :-) Epoxy Hardeners: 209 Extra Slow    3:1 ratio Pot life @ 95 degrees F, 15-20 min  @ 72 degrees F 40-50 min.

I prefer Epoxy Technology 301 with West System's colloidal silica filler and fairing compound. I have an old Yamaha case to reglue the outer rim. It has been in storage for an indeterminate amount of time. The bass side is wide open at one glue joint with separations at various points of the curved portions. I intend to let it 'dry' for a week or two and remove the keybed (advise requested) to clamp the mess together.
