: One problem with tinting epoxy is to insure that the epoxy is well mixed
: before any tint is added. It's impossible to see the color change that
: occurs with mixing the two parts of epoxy once the tint is added. If it's
: not completely mixed you might or might not get a total cure.

Thanks for the tip about adding the tint after mixing. The stuff says to add it to the resin, then add the hardener. And yes it was hard to tell when the resin and hardener was properly mixed. I Don't think it will matter if I add it after I mix.
I think I was being a little impatient, when I checked after work, (about 24 hours from application) it felt quite normal. I think I have 1 or two more coats to complete the coaming restore. Then onto sanding the bottom and painting, painting, painting. Lastly the varnish. (and more varnish, and more....)
Jerry - who knows what he will be doing each night after work for the next 10 days.
