5-min Epoxy hardening/ratios

[Carl Farrington]

Using Pacer 5-min Epoxy.

Sometimes what's left over doesn't quite go rock hard and still smells.
Where I peel it off my mixing tray, the underside is still slightly tacky -
so it's not set properly.

Would this be the result of too much resin or too much hardener?

TIA

More likely (if the bit you used went off OK), the result of not mixing it
all properly.

Too much resin.

If too much hardener, it heats more during cure and can crack.
