I unfortunately only have the weight of the glass and the total weight after cured. I did not think about weighing the resin before
Weight of glass alone was just over 9lbs(144.31 oz). Total weight post cure is 16lbs 9oz.
You did right.
Converting everything to oz
Total weight of 265oz minus 144oz of glass leaves 121oz of resin.
Dividing glass weight (144) by resin weight (121) gives 1.19 which rounds to 1.20. This converts into a fraction of 6/5.
So your glass to resin ratio is very close to 6:5.
