    This document provides a chart showing the recommended volume of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) catalyst to use for different volumes of polyester resin. It lists the amount of catalyst needed as drops or cubic centimeters for resin volumes ranging from 4 ounces to 5 quarts when using MEKP at concentrations of 1%, 1.25%, 1.5%, and 1.75%. It also notes that one gallon of polyester resin weighs 9.2 pounds and that one drop from a fiberglass supply catalyst container equals 0.1 cubic centimeters.
