I was doing some clear coats with unthickened epoxy last weekend and the temperature in my garage was around 80 with fans. The epoxy looked to cure very quickly and caused a mess. I wound up having to sand some of it.
I am using MAS epoxy and the cure tables they provide say somewhere between 17 to 23 minutes for pot life in the 77-87 temp range, but it seemed much faster.
1) I have read use smaller batches, but I didn't think mine was very large. I use the big red cups and it was barely 1/4 full.
2) I also read pour into a shallow dish. Anyone doing this and what did you use?
3) portable air conditioner? Anyone using these? Recommend models?
4) move to Maine ?
Any hints for using epoxy in warmer temps would be appreciated.
Thanks
