Precision is paramount when it comes to the chemical bond of your surfboard. The Catalyst Measuring Syringe is a specialized tool that takes the guesswork out of adding MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide) to your polyester resin. This device allows for quick and accurate catalyst-to-resin ratio measurements, ensuring your resin cures consistently every time, regardless of the ambient temperature in your glassing bay.

Available in multiple capacities to suit any project size—from 1cc for tiny resin repairs to 10cc for full board laminations—these syringes allow you to draw the exact amount of catalyst required. This level of accuracy is critical for avoiding "hot" batches that kick too fast or "under-catalyzed" resin that remains tacky. Manufactured from durable, chemical-resistant materials, these syringes are built to withstand repeated exposure to catalysts and cleaning solvents.

Available Sizes:

1cc: Micro-precision for small resin repairs and ding fixes.

3cc: Ideal for measuring catalyst for fin box installs and leash plugs.

5cc: The versatile choice for small-batch laminations and tail patches.

10cc: High-capacity for full-board hot coats and laminating large blanks.

Key Features:

High Accuracy: Clear, easy-to-read markings allow for precise measurements down to the milliliter (cc).

Quick Ratio Management: Rapidly draw and dispense catalyst for faster workflow during critical glassing windows.

Chemical Resistant: Built to handle the corrosive nature of polyester catalysts without degrading.

Reduced Waste: Eliminates spills and drips associated with traditional measuring cups or bottles.

Pro Tip: Always keep a small jar of acetone nearby to rinse the syringe after each use. This prevents any residual catalyst from hardening inside the tip and ensures the plunger continues to move smoothly for your next board.
