Mark, I was having this happen too, but I have not had much issue lately and I have done a couple gallons this past few months. The one thing that I have been doing different is I mix about 15 seconds then I put the cup in a microwave for up to 10 seconds depending on the batch size (4 sec. for 25 ML) (10 sec. for 127ml)Then continue the mixing for the right amount of time. I don't recall any tack after about 24 to 36 hours. I agree with Rob, I like West better, sets faster, no tack, and sandable the same day sometimes. It also sets to fast for having good batch to batch continuity sometimes. The aeropoxy has a good set time to do large lay ups without a cold joint happening. Just try warming a a couple batches and see if it helps. I keep my shop at about 65 and doing ok Joe

It eventually lost it's tackiness, but it sure was annoying. I have pretty much switched to West Systems since and haven't had any issues with it.

Is it cold or humid? You may want to try a heat lamp to get rid of the tackiness.

After I laid up the bottom of the left stub wing and stabilizer the lay up remains tacky even after a week of curing. The lay up has dried hard but just has this tackiness to the surface. Any suggestions to remove the tackiness? And yes I am weighing the mix according to instructions of 100/27 by weight or 3/1 volume. > Mark Jones _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
