There are three hardeners that I know of in the Jeffco system.  The hardener 
supplied by Lancair is 3102, and is a fast hardener resulting in the shortest 
pot life.  A slower hardener is 3176.  It is available for Aircraft Spruce, 
but is was not approved by Lancair when I was ordering my Lancair IV last 
year.  The alternative hardener that is approved by Lancair is 3156, and is 
available from Lancair.  I have been using it in west central Florida, and 
have been getting a pot life of thirty minutes plus.  
 
On the aircraft voltage question, I too went through all the arguments over 
12 or 24 volt systems.  I have owned two Cessnas.  One had a 12 volt system 
and the other a 24 volt system.  I have had better performance from the 24 
volt system.  The thing that tipped the scales once and for all to 24 volts 
for my IV was when I discovered that the new line of avionics were for 24 
volts only. Since I like my toys, the choice was obvious.
