the epoxy will never cure unfortunately it is the wrong type of chemical reaction you are best to strip it all off now clean up the mess and start a fresh. I made a similar mistake on my first surfboard i made! you will only do it once. I make sure i always zero the scales before adding the hardener as it saves simple mistakes. The other time this can happen is if you do not mix the two parts well enuff but sounds like you know were the problem came from.

To be honest I'm just hoping the oven makes it a bit harder so I can get it off easier...yes I'll only make this mistake once. Not an expensive one but just made lots of hard work for a stupid mistake. I mixed it really thoroughly in one container and then poured it into the ice cream tub and mixed it again well so I know it's not that.

We need a Homer Simpson "Doh!" emoticon for just this situation.

That's a real shame as it seemed to be going so well. It's going to be an pretty awful clean up job as well I'd reckon. I hope the drying oven works but I can't believe it will, your epoxy wouldn't achieve anywhere near it's maximum hardness anyway.

Yeah it's going to be a mess to clear up...oh well s**t happens. I'll leave the cleaning up until after the honeymoon, hopefully 10 days all inclusive in a Deluxe Penthouse apartment in Mauritius will chill me out...
