Hello. Sorry for opening a new topic, i have not found a similar issue anywhere else.
The problem occurs when I m mixing the resin with the combined slow and fast hardner. After thorough mixing, some white flakes start to appear in the cup that float arround. If i mix them separately, the mixing is completely clear. I have tried putting the hardners in the cup firstly and mixing them thoroughly before adding the resin, but with no result, everytime the hardners are combined it is like the resin starts coagulating when mixing.

Also, I encounter another problem with the resin, so I will post it on this same topic. In combination with the fast hardner, the resin cures rock solid but with a form of amine blush. The surface remains sticky to the touch after curing, which won t be an issue on the surface layer because it can be easily washed with water i noticed, but sanding the component heavy delamination between layers occurs, which requiers the component to be thrown away...
I have made a test: in a closed working area with 45% humidity and 23 degrees temp I laminated 3 CF components. 1 with 50/50 fast and slow, 1 with slow and 1 with fast hardner.
The 2 components containing fast hardner cured with a very sticky finish and a surface imperfection, and the one with slow hardner cured perfectly.
I am running out of options,  I don t see what is causing all this issues and I honestly don t believe EL2 is a bad resin, as it didn t get bad feedback from other users.
