: If you're sure you got the 5:1 mix ratio correct, the next thing I'd check is
: the ambient temperature. It looks like the set time at 72 degrees is 10-15
: hours. A lower temps it may be appreciably longer.

I'm pretty sure the ratio is correct. The mixing cup had 4-1 and I increased it one more notch to make 5-1. I live in south Florida and it gets really hot here now.
