Ed oddly enough I think that may be correct. I usually transfer my rod epoxy and etex to a larger disc plate to disperse bubbles. I think that batch came right from the mixing cup. try another batch,thanks.You know as long as you do something, your always earning.

With small batches of System 3 I found better success mixing by weight. Because of its long drying time I have had plugs that seemed slightly tacky harden further over several days. Because of this I started using a heated drying box and that was the end of that.

I dont use Sys3 epoxy so I am assuming that you are using their "Mirror Coat", which is 100% solids. That would allow the use of heat as a remedy for an off batch..even without heat eventually it will cure. The problem with the fixes is that the epoxy will not perform to spec. On a lure I don't see any problem at all with heat to cure. In a structural assembly I would be suspect. I would add that heating the area around the work is not considered a "fix". Epoxy is a great product but it has its moments.
