Silly question............

[Tubby]

I was wondering if anyone else noticed this when pouring Poly Resin. If I am doing a clear cast I can use recommended hardener mix (I.E. 3 drops per ounce of resin), and it hardens like a champ, and is ideal to turn.

My problem is when I add PR color or pearlizing (sp?) additives I really have to bump up the hardener ratio to get it to harden in a timely manner.

Anyone else have any problems like this?? I am giving the colored PR 8-10 hours to cure before I release the pressure, and it is still soupy.

Thanks in advance for any help

Yep, I have seen the same. Some of my colored resins take over night to harden and sometimes still sticky on the outside.

Never done that. Will some day though.
