So last Sunday I bought a 24 oz package of this product at my local Michael's. Carefully mixed it 2-1 in a graduated cup to fill some deep cracks in a slab table top i'm working on. Then stepped back to wait for it to cure. And waited ... and waited some more. 36 hours later and it still had the consistency of maple syrup - ie. not just wet, but still liquid. This is in a room temperature heated garage. A week later, and you can still dig a fingernail into it - though I did give up and turn the heat down to 40F after 48 hours.
Just to be sure, I mixed another batch in my kitchen yesterday morning. I carefully read the instructions to see if I missed anything, but I've worked with epoxy several times before so I know what I'm doing and know how to measure a 2-1 ratio. Mixed it very well - 6 minutes on the clock. And this morning, 24 hours later it's thick, but still pourable.
Michael's made me whole on the cost of the product, but it's ruined an expensive piece of lumber and alot of work. Unless anyone has suggestions on how to remove partially cured resin.
Any suggestions? I know for sure that I will be mixing and curing a sample of any product before pouring it into my work from here on out.
