If it's been mixed off-ratio, it'll never set up.
To take a last quick test, scrape a small gob off the patient, subject it to the heat of a heat gun ot heatlamp for ten minutes or so. If it still hasn't solidified, the gooey stuff has got to come off. In order, i'd try: - white vinegar and a coarse metal pot scrubber - white vinegar and a scotchbrite grill scrubber - acetone and the pot scrubber - prayer - many coarse sanding disks ..

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 |

Bill Wash out with a solvent, as others have suggested, of course; but I thought you might be interested in this experience. A coat of epoxy on the interior of a Goodboad failed to cure, but not from wrong mixing ratio. As Kern Hendricks of System Three determined with me over the phone, it was from an unvented kerosene heater being used to heat the closed shop when the furnace was broken down. Kern figured that the CO was reacting with the hardener, I think; no chemist I. |
