We love re-usable plastic and silicone tools for everything ( stirrers, spreaders, stands, worktop surfaces ) because they are so easy to clean and the resin peels right off once it’s dry. [links]

Liquid, runny resin: causes can include not following the correct 1:1 ratio of resin and hardener, or by adding too much colorant. The liquid resin will need to be scraped off before you pour a fresh coat.

What It Looks Like:

MeasureArtResin in precisely equal amountsby volume:
Adding too much of either resin or hardener will alter the chemical reaction and the mixture will not cure properly.

How To Fix It:

[Tara01]

Resin that remains sticky days after being poured will stay sticky indefinitely until measures are taken to fix the situation. Be sure to measure and mix your resin properly, so this problem will not occur again:

[diggler]

@Virgina, my first thoughts are either that you didn’t mix the correct amounts or you didn’t mix it well. [links]

I have a question….I understand about the reason for things not curing right but myproblem was that I did a table and half of the table cured but the other half didn’t. so it really don’t make sense because it was all from the same resin, so how could some of it cure but some not? here

I would have expected polyester resin to have cured by now. I don’t think more time is going to help.

BTW Im using easycast epoxy. here

Cured resin is safe for animals assuming they’re not going to chew or swallow it. [links]

I am glad I found this. I have worked with plenty of epoxies but never with fiberglass resin so this in particular has worried me. I work with a lot of props and models that are made entirely from FG resin and I run into the situation where the resin has not cured all the time. here

Creating a microclimate works well too which you can do by either building a wooden box and cutting holes for spot lamps with heat bulbs (pet store) and leaving your part in the box for about 10-20 minutes, or by setting your oven to 120°F and throwing your part in for about 10 minutes (use this method at your own risk as the health risks of cooking in an oven that you use to cure resin in are unknown, and it makes the kitchen and most of the house smell like resin; just because I've done it doesn't mean that you should!).

[afed]

hey, same thing happened to my whole forarm part. [links]

[Leonassan]

mix up some more resin and add a couple more drops than you normaly would [links]

[bombus]

It will make it less tacky yeah. here

2. Fill
If after scraping, you're left with a deep divot or crater, patch in some new thoroughly mixed resin just in that spot.

Don’t learn the hard way :)
Follow our simple how-to instructions , measure and mix properly, and you’ll have no difficulty using and applying ArtResin to your project! here

3. Sand
Next, lightly sand the entire piece (including the cured patch, if you needed a patch)
Be sure to wipe the entire surface to remove any dust from sanding. The sanding provides some tooth to the first coat so the second layer will adhere properly.
Don’t be scared if it looks like a mess at this point - when you pour the second layer, it will look great!

Well, the first thing to know is that epoxy resin comes in 2 parts:
a resin and a hardener.
When these two parts are mixed according to directions, a chemical reaction occurs which causes the liquid mixture to catalyze.
If this chemical reaction is somehow prevented or disrupted, a perfect cure is no longer possible, and the result is a sticky mess!

Don't worry - all is not lost! [links]

The following are some of the common reasons epoxy resin might not cure properly:
