Im doing my first Resin project using this epoxy resin kit.
Now I knew that Resin wouldnt cure if it was "cold" but I did not realize that temperature was well above my normal room temperature or the outside. Here's my timeline:
0 hours in: 63°F/17.2C I started the curing
0-10 hours (overnight): the low was 54°F/12.2C
10 hours in: Resin was tacky. I moved it into my bathroom with the fan on. 70°F/21.1C
18 hours in: Resin was still tacky. I put a space heater in bathroom. Hoping to get it even hotter.
41 hours in: Resin is much less tacky! With space heater it's 78F/25.5C. Hoping it is going to cure completely hard and not stop at this point.
I guess my question is did I mess it up too much potentially overnight to the point where it just won't cure at all? If that's the case should I put on a thin coat or scrape it off somehow? Its a large area I coated so it will certainly be very time consuming to get it off.
Something else that could've prevented it from curing is that I accidentally dripped a bunch of polyurethane on it.
