How do you mix it. How much?

It depends on what you want to do...If you want to mix it in order to get a very homogeneous material for micro-fluidic devices. Then I recommend centrifuge mixer, then manual mixing, then centrifuge mixing again (three times), then you need to remove bubbles (the gas mixed with polymer). For that you need a vacumm chamber (60 minutes). Then to the oven 60 Celsius for 240 minutes. You can wait at room temperature one day and will polymerize anyway.If you want to use as a sealant, just manual mix 10 ml with 1 ml of the polymerizer. That will do!

what is the expiration date of this product?

The boxes I received had a stated expiration date of July 2015, but depending on your intended application, that date may not be that important. Hope this helps,J

How much area will this cover? Also, does it improve efficiency of the panel?

It is optically clear so it does not cut any efficiency. The amount of coverage depends on how thick but one kit generally does 36 cell panels very well if you are using in place of glass. And 1 kit will do 2 x 60 cell panels if you are repairing broken glass.

can this be used to seal electronics other than solar panels?

It was practically made for that purpose.
