Hi
I currently use glass cast 3 on various wood surfaces with excellent results, I have recently attempted to coat log slices and drift wood but a lot of the resin runs off after being left to cure, would I be better waiting until near the end of the working life of the mixed resin before application, if so what is the recommended working life of glass cast 3? do you have a more viscous clear resin with something like 10 minute pot life?

Thanks.

You could also try the XCR Epoxy which (despite looking purple in the bottle), cures clear and is of a higher viscosity so not as likely to drain off the sides.
