I should have been more precise about what I was asking.

When ordering a new resin cartridge is it already filled with resin? It doesn’t arrive empty, right?

My understanding is that when the cartridge is empty, then it should be removed and refilled using the same type of resin ( that is sold in cheaper bottle sized units).  
So, the cartridge should last a long time if handled carefully.

Thanks.

@TemujinKuechle,

The resin cartridges come filled with resin, ready to use. Refilling them does not save money, however, since the price per liter is the same whether you purchase resin in a cartridge or bottle. I would only recommend refilling a cartridge if you have leftover bottles of resin that you must use in a Form 2.

Hope this helps!
