About bad mixing

OK. Let's assume that I did a poor mixing. Then, some part of the resin would have LOTS of hardener and some other part almost nothing, right?

Then, I would be facing some kind of "geographical" glass scenario, with lakes of uncured epoxy and rock solid islands of overhardened epoxy.

But what I've seen is an even surface of uncured epoxy, all over the deck.

Nevertheless, Next time I'll wait for warm and dry weather, pre test the resin and hardener, put some green and pink stupid proof mixture cups and pray to every occidental God I know about!

Thanks for your help.
