Hi John, The usual suspects for uncured area of epoxy are inadequate mixing, expired shelf life, surface contamination or incompatibility with something in the substrate. Assuming none of these, the epoxy should cure at 64 degrees as witnessed by the fact that some of it did which left you with a few localized problems rather than a generalized problem. Try wiping the tacky areas with lacquer thinner to see if those areas are completely uncured or if the tackiness is merely a surface anomaly. If the areas are completely uncured I would suspect a mixing problem which would require a thorough cleaning (lacquer thinner, MEK, etc.) and patching of those areas. If the problem is a surface problem and the area is cured below a thin film of surface tackiness, clean the film thoroughly and you should be good to go. I would then call tech. serv. for Aeropoxy to prevent any further occurrences. Good Luck. Regards, Ron Piekaar, On Dec 17, 2009, at 7:25 AM, <krnet-bounces+ifixthings=rcabletv....@mylist.net> wrote:
