Say you’re about to mix hotcoat/lam/etc. resin and need to do some math
Go to google.com
Type this in:
1.5% of 10 oz in cc
Hit search and get this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=1.5%25+of+10+oz+in+cc&btnG=Search
No conversion factors needed-great stuff 
Also great:
Go Metric. Get rid of all the confusing double dutch. Gallons , quarts , pints , oz’s , cc’s etc.
1 litre = 1000ml, working out mix ratios with metric is a no brainer, no need for google just a calculator if you want to check yourself, it’s simple maths.
300ml resin x 1.5% = 4.5ml hardener ,I find that easier than 1.5% of 10 oz in cc.
Give it a go ,once you have it in your head ratios come so easy. If you won’t give metric a go then google is your answer.

as an Italian living in the US, I realize that going metric is just never gonna happen.
their system doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but somehow they’re convinced ours (when I say “ours” I’m referring to the rest of the world) is worse.
Not me. I’m American who’s married to a German. We lived in Deutchland for 3 years, and I worked in a woodworking shop. Meters, centimeters, and millimeters is MUCH easier to use. Just like counting money…all based on 100.
Americans just don’t want to change because they’re familiar with inches. Inches is ok until you start having to add, subtract, or multiply fractions of inches. Then it’s easiest to convert fractions to…decimals! 16 ft. tape measures used to have a conversion table printed on the back of the tape: fractions to decimals. Go figure…literally.
I guess we’re just stubborn… Now don’t get started on that!

You know there’s two things I will always think and refer to in imperial.
Wave sizes and board lengths, even after using metric most of my life and on a daily basis as a carpenter I still can’t envisage waves and boards any other way.
In every other way metric is superior for measurements of all kinds.

familiarity is king
when the 20 is adjacent to the 1.5 oz
on the measuring cup
and the durn thing dont go up to 3 0z
but it does go up to 60
I dont care if its ccs or mms
or even rrs
Im jumping on that
two to one relationship
like a scots-irish on an indentured
service contract to the new world
to live like an abused dog
for a chance to leave the feudalists behind.
I never knew it was even called imperial
it was just an inch
at least we aint using cubits
if we dint have measurink tapes
with little black marks and numbers
ropes with knots and strings with knots would work
and an elbow and a finger tip is the only way to measure
a rope when out in a boat…
whats a cubit?
noah said that
bill cosby told me
,ambrose…
hows bout how long is that board ?
six x 1.375 x .87 x .80 x .20 cubits
perfect for the outer reefs of
isle de Arrarat
emperical unt me trick are just passing fashion
to be replaced ultimately
by the yet unknown superior
galactic unit, the beallit.
