For the last two days I've been in the shop casting Snake and Cactus.
As my pot will hold only two molds at a time I mix 16 oz. of PR at a time x 3drops of hardner per oz of pr thats 48 drops of "HARDNER".
Today on the last casting I did my usual mixture and put both molds into the pot. After 45min. I let the air out of the pot slowly as I always do and removed both molds. The resin had not harded one bit.I could not understand as all my casting the resin had hardened completly except for the stickyness you get on the sides in 45 min. I took both molds to my casting work bench and set them down and BINGO[:0] sitting right next to the HARDNER was my bottle of med. CA.
Both the hardner and CA are in the same bottle and I have them clearly marked but I didn't even think to look at the bottle when I put 24 drops into each 8 oz container. [V]
