Hi Guys, I applied easy composites epoxy resin to my penny floor on Monday night and have left it until tonight to touch it. Heating set in room to 20deg and I’m finding in places it’s solid and other places it’s really tacky and almost soft.

Any advice please?

Did you use the 2-cup mixing technique? mixing for more than 2 minutes in one cup, then pouring it over in an other cup and mix again? soft, tacky resin is mostly a cause of not properly mixed resin that might be on the bottom of your cup and while trying to get everything out of your cup, you are pouring unmixed resin that wont cure
