Can i use a 2 pack paint without the hardener, just like it was acrylic? I have 5 litres of clear lying around my house that says i need to use a hardener. I'd hate to waste it.

In a word no, 2 pack requires a chemical reaction to go hard :D

Big fat no, it would never harden. Just get the hardener and use it.

As said already, it will NEVER cure.

But you can buy the hardener seperately :idea:
