If you read this blog --- I assume people do. You may recall a couple of weeks ago that I have began working on a card table for storage, sorting, etc.
Check out this post to remind yourself.
Okay, so I put three batches of epoxy down (mostly all at the same time) and have a few sticky spots.
I went to Mr. Home Depot for some advice, they advised to wait it out. I have waited almost three weeks.
So, consulting the World Wide Web, by all accounts, it appears this side effect is due to poor mixing.
The fact of the matter is I need a solution.
Friends with experience have offered these:
- set it out in the sun and see if it dries
- seal it with polyurethane coat(s)
- sand it down
- set it on fire

I have no idea. I would go with setting it in the sun...but after 3 weeks, that may not make a difference.
ReplyDeleteSo I might scrape off as much as I can, then sand and glue again.
Is there an Accelerator available to speed up the drying time?
ReplyDeleteBefore you trash it, I'd suggest using poly. I was a house painter for 10 years, but I rarely used epoxy. I don't think you'll have any crazy reactions, though. I probably would've went with poly for the surface from the start. A bunch of coats. And, hey, cool project.
ReplyDeletei think Dhoff is on the right track.Maybe call a hardwood flooring store and tell them about this.
