ive been casting resins for years, so im not new to the subject.
but im having problems with clear resins not curing all the way. ive tried two different epoxies and now im trying polyurethane. they firm up but remain sticky/tacky. my measurements are right on with epoxy, my scale measures to .000 , and ive followed the directions to the letter...so im thinking???
im trying to cast the bubble lens from the texas ins. calculator so the part is small.
according to the directions on the polyurethane i should add more cat. for smaller amounts of resin??? is this right? taking in consideration the size of the amount of resin need to cast a small part like this im using 10 drops of cat.
i was thing heat or lack there of was the issue, so i bought a 1500 btu heater, ive kept the mold at around 80 deg. the whole time....it no difference.
any help from you pro's would be great
