Well my husband and I finally got everything together and I got time on my schedule to mess with casting resin. I have done MANY MANY castings without the pot. I thought I would be real smart and try a loofa sponge similar to the catcus casting. Well after an hour in the pot the resin did not set up at all! Completely liquid! I used 5 drops per ounce. All I can think of is there is something on the loofa sponge that messed with the resin. OR does resin or fixer go bad? I would think 40 pounds pressure for an hour would be plenty of time.The resin etc... has been stored in the basement for a year. I actually poured the resin back out and added fixer from a new bottle and I have it in the pot now. I don't expect too much but after all of the work cutting up the loofa I wanted to give it one more try. does anyone know how to get liquid resim out of a loofa? I will probably just throw it away. Bummer!
Well I will let you know the outcome. I hope the resin is still good. I still have a half of a gallon left! alice
