Yeah but ...given the time of year, it could be nothing more than shop temperature biting him. The original poster didn't say. I'd vote for some incandescent shop lamps or other heat source focused on the sticky epoxy to warm it up to 70 F or so for a day or two, then decide if it's going to cure. Every epoxy in the book will cure hard to touch within 24 hours at 70 F, so if it's still sticky after that ...sigh, then I'd remove it and try again. Brian D "Sail-n-Dive" wrote in message ... Epoxy is not catalyzed ( i.e., no "hardener" is mixed at all) like many other plastics and the correct amount of each part of the components must be there for the "curing" to take place. If will have to come back off if it was not properly mixed. "Paul Winchester" wrote in message ... If it has been mixed with hardener it should setup eventually. Heat and time will eventually harden the mix. The more heat (up to a point) the less time. I miscalculated the mix ratio on a batch I used for a repair patch last year. It was very sticky for a long time, then after several weeks in the hot sun it eventually cured. "Bill" wrote in message ... Is there anything I can do now. It is just sort of sticky. Thanks. Bill |
