apoxie sculpt won't dry

Submitted by red on 3/6/06 at 8:19 PM. ( ) 69.136.35.115

I have some black & cream & neither seem to be drying @ all. I mixed some today & used it on a deer. About 5 hours later its not dry. I even mixed extra herdener in it. Has any body else had this happen. I've had it about 6 months.
Thanks

Is it possible...

...that you didn't mix it enough? Take two very small equal parts (A&B) and mix them together WELL. Let them dry 2 hours. If it's not fairly dry, then you've got a bad batch )perhaps two of the same parts?) If it's dry, then you probably didn't mix it well enough. When I mix big quantities of epoxy i usually roll each part out like a snake and wrap the two pieces together and twist them up (an old pottery trick). Do this several times. Then, kneading it with your fingers imho works best...


More likely, you used "natural" A instead of resin B

I've done that myself. Having several containers on a work bench, I pulled out the black I needed and what I thought to be the "B" part of the mix. Next morning I discovered I'd used Black 'A" and mixed it with natural "A". They don't work well like that.


Been There....Done That

There's those of us who admit we've done it versus one who hasn't had the opportunity YET. LMAO, Sorry Marty. I do the same, but have 4 or 6 tubs of that stuff on the workbench, be talking to someone, and suddenly your dyslexic. LMAO.


BTW, Red, you didn't waste ANYONE'S time on this one

It was a valuable learning tool for those it hasn't happened to yet.


George, I'm not that big-time!

I've only got the 4 pound set and that's it. I've read of this happening to others so I think I've been scared into making sure I don't do it myself - lol! When in doubt, throw it out!
