At this point, I’d call a mulligan and remove the epoxy. You can see a good way to do it from West System. https://www.westsystem.com/instruction-2/epoxy-basics/clean-up-removing/ |

Try heating it up… either with something like a hair dryer, or if it’s small enough, in the oven for a while. Cheers, -- Brad in FL - In Dog I trust... everything else is questionable |

With epoxy ratio is important. It is not a catalyst reaction. Both parts are consumed at a specific ratio. If there is too much of either there will be ions of that component left in the material after all the available crosslinking has been done. These free ions will adversely effect the properties of the compound. -- Paul M ..............the early bird may get the worm but it’s the second mouse that gets the cheese! http://thecanadianschooloffrenchmarquetry.com/ |

I mix my epoxy by weight. With T88, it is a ratio of 100 resin to 83 hardener. I just never trusted the pump things. |

This is a great suggestion. I don’t ever do it, which is probably why my epoxy mixes and baked goods equally turn out poorly :p -- "Ladies, if your husband says he'll get to it, he'll get to it. No need to remind him about it every 6 months." |

Thank you all. It also looks like the sent me the wrong mixing ratios I found out when I contacted the supplier about where my pumps where at ( I know close at best) think I’m going to hit harbor freight today for a scale |

If you are mixing by weight, make certain you know the weight ratio which can be different than a volume ratio. |
