Hi all,
Having problems with resin being too runny. I put two coats then light sand with 240grit then one more coat. And still resin is too thin on some places like curves it just runs off even if I put thicker coat.
I mix resin and hardener and wait for about 5-10 min for it to degas
Had this problem before. You can see it in the pic where on such a little slope it just wont stay in place just runs off.
How to deal with this problem?

Look for the Viscosity properties in centipoise. Laminating resins tend to have a viscosity of around 350-600cps. Coating resins like the XCR resin are normally thicker, around 800-1000cps. No, or a...
