: I've had that happen before. Results weren't good. If you're using Raka Slow
: hardener, I've never known a properly batched mix to not cure to
: non-tackiness at 60*F after two days. Beyond that, it's probably operator
: error, and the epoxy won't cure.

: I had a mismixed batch a year ago: too much hardener. (actually, several
: mismixed batches until I threw that pump out) They never fully cured;
: always rubbery and flexible. I used the mismixed epoxy on a foam-cored
: paddle blade, as well as a couple of diagonal "feather" paddle
: blade blanks. When I hit them with the band saw it all fell apart. Do you
: have another paddle to use for the weekend? Go out and use it. If the
: others aren't cured when you return, get out the acetone and vinegar and
: start over.

: At least you had a good sealer coat--my wood paddle blades ended up being
: firewood and the foam-cored one is slowly disintegrating as I paddle with
: it. After I finish the boat, I'm going to make a concerted effort to make
: some good paddles (with properly ratio'ed epoxy!)

: Have a great weekend, and I hope the epoxy finally cures.
