I've experienced a very, very, short window of working time with this product. I've reduced the hardener significantly and see not much difference in set up time (and when it starts to go hard it's gone in a flash) and I'm wasting a lot of product.

Has any one tried mixing in a plastic cup and setting that in ice? Looking for, or will try any suggestions. I has to be better than what I'm doing.


I had a similar experience with West System epoxy. I had mixed a batch of 200 grams: after several minutes, the mixture began to smoke, became very hot, and then turned solid within a few seconds.

Nothing to say against West System! I reread the manual and found that there's "weight limit": I wasn't supposed to mix batches bigger than 100 grams.

Possibly your batch size caused you having the short window of working time?
