Thanks for the info. That is not the case here. As I have mixed batches out of the same containers with no other problems. I guess I somehow screwed up, although I don't know how, as I use calibrated cups etc.

Cranial vapour lock I guess.

: Sorry to hear about your problems.

: There was a batch of bad hardener made in October 2002 that affected MSR,
: West, Raka, and the host of smaller epoxy companies out there (and, of
: course, I had a quart of the stuff, too). There's a possibility that you
: have some of this stuff. In most cases it didn't have a severe immediate
: effect in that most epoxy use is in bulk to industry (but could cause
: delamination failures in the future). Make up a small test batch to find
: out. If the test batch doesn't set up, that's your problem. You need new
: hardner. West will honor your request if you have your evidence, but you
: have to be firm, they are bad at 'fessing up. If the test batch works, you
: should check the mix each time, pumps burp or just don't do it well. Could
: be that which caused the problem, or the layer was so thin that it didn't
: generate enough heat to cure immediately, but it will set up within days
: unless you're in cold weather round the clock.

: Let us know what happens, I for one am very interested.
