Lol.
The epoxy has a 30-40 minute working time after you mix it with the catalyst, so I did it in batches.
Ran into some snags.......
I basically eyeballed the 2:1 mixing ratio and ended up with less catalyst for the second batch. That wouldn't have been much of a problem (just delayed setting time) except that I also ran out of buckets and poured the catalyst right into the epoxy pigment bucket - and ended up mixing it suboptimally. I didn't realize it until the next day when I was getting ready for the clear coat - the final 2X6 ft section I applied was nowhere near set.
Waited another day. Still not set.
Another day. Still not set.
Only thing that makes sense is that the epoxy at the very bottom of the bucket didn't get enough catalyst.
Now it's 4 1/2 days later and finally starting to harden. Far cry from the 5-6 hours it took for the rest of the floor.
Hope to clear coat tomorrow and get some updated pics up.
