Hi, I just finished posting this about my new epoxy finish rotating holder thing, and I made it all seem like a rainbows and unicorns. A real success. An act of genius. Which of course it was all those things, Except for one thing.
I used system 3 epoxy finish, that takes 2:1 ratio mix. I used a scale and got pretty close to that. I applied it, which was not terribly easy due to the shape of the vase. The rotisserie dryer worked great. I checked after a couple hours figuring it would be dry enough to take of the turner, but it was still tacky. So I check after about 6 hours. Same. I took it off the turner because as you can see from my other post the motor doesn't seem like the most trustworthy thing in the world. I didn't want it burning down my house. In the morning, still dang tacky! What the heck! Does no silver cloud come without a poop lining? It's not that cold here maybe 60 degrees (f) evening and night. Perhaps the mix was off? But seriously, it can't require perfection just to work. so what I read was .7 then I add the other stuff up to 1.1 So that's pretty close. I think?
Anyway, let me know if you know what I did wrong, or if you think I can fix it or if you think it will someday set.
Thanks,
Raif
