Q: My epoxy dries sticky or rubbery. What's wrong?
A: Either the proportions of epoxy and hardener were not correct (2:1 ratio) or they were not mixed thoroughly. Be sure to mix in one container then put into second container and mix some more.
Q: My epoxy is not perfectly clear, it has a slight amber color. What's wrong?
A: Nothing. Our epoxy is known as "water clear" and this means it has a very, very slight amber hue. For most projects you will never even notice it.
Q: How long do I have to work with the epoxy once it is mixed?
A: our epoxy has a pot life of about 30 minutes. After that if you disturb it, it will be like a gelatinous blob.
Q: How long does the epoxy take to harden?
A: To fully harden it takes 24 hours. However you can usually take it out of the mold in 12 hours but it might be a little soft. You can add layers and embedments to it after 3-5 hours but if you poke at it or push it at this time it will dent.
Q: Is the epoxy safe to use?
A: Our epoxy is generally considered one of the safest to use and is classified only as a mild skin and eye irritant to people sensitive to it. However some people have allergic reactions to all epoxies and they should not come in contact with any epoxy products.
Q: If I get epoxy on my skin how should I clean it off?
A: With good old soap and water. Nothing else is needed.
Q: If I spill the epoxy how do I clean it up?
A: While it is best to put down wax paper to make cleanup as easy as throwing the paper away if you do get it on another surface it's may require Acetone or Lacquer thinner to remove it. If it is on something sensitive like wood then just use soap and water to remove it the best you can.
Q: Will the epoxy have air bubbles?
A: While our epoxy is self degassing it is possible for a stray bubble to show up on occasion. Our in house tests showed a bubble one out of 12 times it was used and most of those were off in a corner where they were barely visible.
