Default Can I use hardener from another resin?

I've been using 3m resin and hardener for my bumper. I just bought some evercoat laminatin resin, which is pretty cool, when you mix the hardener with the resin, it turns green. And the included hardener is pretty small, I used up the whole thing (partially because it's cooler out, so I want to make sure it cures correctly.)

Can I use the 3m hardener for the evercoat resin?

Has anyone done something like this before? I wonder if the local supply shop has extras I can buy.

you should definitely be able to buy extra hardener.

you could also try mixing a small batch of evercoat and 3m stuff and just letting it sit and see what happens.

Damn your right, why didn't I think of that. I'm going to try to get an extra one before I do that.
