Assuming the curing temperatures are above 60 degrees and it is still rubbery, you are hosed, it will never become hard and will get sticky and nasty in hot weather... Plan on grinding it away... Consider a wire brush mounted on a healthy drill motor (1/2") and lots of elbow grease... MAS is a fine product, I went through a couple of gallons on the past month when I ran low on WEST... denny - who has had every problem possible with epoxy... The temperature is well over 60. The area is under the sun and is covered with a boat cover, and the area is really really hot inside the boat cover. Therefore, temperature should not have anything to do with this problem. In other words, the epoxy is really in trouble, or I should say "I am really in trouble". I don't think there is anything wrong with MAS. This is just that their Slow Hardener seems to be more sensitive to mixing error (their Medium Hardener is more forgiving). I have been able to get away with mixing not long enough using their Medium Hardener and still get epoxy cured just fine. Unfortunately, when I switched to their Slow Hardener, I forgot to do a test batch first, and I will have to suffer from my own error. Oh well... Jay Chan |
