so i just got done refoaming and laid my first piece of biax in the tray and its been about 6 hrs and it still feels really wet does this take awhile to try

also i dont know if this helps anyone but an awesome tool for leveling your tray out to cut foam is a door jam saw for laminate flooring home depot or lowes it like 8.00 dollars

Did you dump the foam over the tray floor ?

if its epoxy sure it is it does take a day dep on the weather

your mixture might be wrong depending on which hardener you took, you will have to let it completly cure before applying additional layers otherwise it will blow air pockets

assuming ur in NY id say its rather cold. it takes awhile to cure in cold weather. itll be tacky for abit

 

[mopower77]

great thank you

Get it warm 65-70 degrees for a day. It will cure, as long as your mixture was correct.

so the first layer cured totally used 120z biax in the tray and applied second layer and i have air bubbles in it any suggestions..


i was thinking that ill wait a couple of days and lay one more layer over it think this will cause a problem?

anyone?

I normally mix mine hott (with too much hardener)
Mine cures pretty fast, but im pretty sure its not good to add to much hardener. I just pour, squirt, mix and go no measuring.

if it is drying really slow bc it is cold out you can use a halogen spot light and shine it directly on it about 15inches away... the radiant heat from the light will help it cure much faster than normal... and adding too much hardener will not give the same strength as a correctly mixed batch..... although it will still work..... imo
good luck with it

thank you for the help
