I took the gamble of pouring a shallow creek bed scene with envirotec ( first time ) everything looked good till i saw i had not mixed equal amounts.After 48 hrs still fingerprint sticky.Can i just mix another batch & pour on top of the other ?

Repour it and make sure ya get the mix right, it should harden but may take alittle longer and you may have to watch longer for air bubbles.

Thanks for the information.I lucked out this time.I had spilled about a inch of hardner out of the bottle before i mixed the two. I put a radiant heater in room about 6 ft. in front of the base 12 hrs latter all is good. thanks again.

We used envirotec in school to cover the fish after painting. If you blow it with a hairdryer you can pull the bubbles out of it to.

Use a heat gun vs. hair dyrer if you want to lessen the odds of moving material you dont want sticking to it.

Check the humidity in your shop, if the humidity is high it will take longer to set.  I did this one time and had only my gas wall mount heater on and no dehumidifier and it took forever to set till I put the dehumidifier on and it set right up.  Also the parts must be equal when mixing.
