That's my theory at least. It's a good strategy but it is important to let the thin epoxy start to cure before overcoating with the thickened top layer. *Otherwise the thin epoxy will start to sag from the weight of the top coat and take everything down with it. OK, When Froggy posted what he does. I took 'soft' to be 'wet'. Obviously not, though. Excellent thought. Thanks Wayne. |
