We have laid a penny floor and 42 hours ago we sealed it with the glasscast 3 resin. However we are  little bit concerned that 42 hours later, although most of it is rock solid there are still a number of sticky patches remaining is this normal??

after 48 hours upon reading your reply we tried a fan heater as you suggested for 8 hours and left the resin in an isolated room for a further 54 hours...
Upon inspection after a total of 5 days the GlassCast3 appeared to be no different to when I first messaged you (after 42 hours), however on closer inspection (after 5 days) the condition of the resin is far worse than we first thought. What I thought were sticky patches were actually sticky holes that you could sink your finger in to touch the pennies underneath, you took your finger out and it left a tacky hole - which then self levelled and filled itself back up in under 60 seconds!?!?
Upon trying to scrape up a section of the viscous area we found there was no end to it... even underneath the parts that we believed were solid the bottom half of the resin was all still liquid!
This is the condition of the resin after 5 1/2 days...(see picture)
The entire surface is easily lifting up and cracking away, leaving a horrible sticky mess underneath... there are only very minimal areas where the resin has seemingly cured all the way through.
We followed the instructional video to the letter, used the correct ratios by weight, used two containers and mixed for the correct time.. How can this happen? What can have caused this? Needless to say we are extremely disappointed and more importantly, what can be done to remove the gooey mess and somehow rescue the floor that took 2 weeks of our spare time to set down in the first place?
Needless to say we are extremely disappointed with your product, which now seems a complete waste of money and we need you to offer some professional advise to help us remedy the situation?
Video to follow if required, it won't let us upload it on here, but I can upload it to youtube and link you to it if you wish?
