      I am brand new to using resin and I am trying to fill routed areas with colored resin, but every time I mix my resin 1:1 and then add the color and mix some more and I pour it into a test piece for now the resin cures and looks likes foam. The routing is only about 1/4 inch deep. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong, if it is to warm in the garage, if I have the wrong resin.

      Hi Jim,

      It sounds like your wood is releasing air into the resin. You will need to seal the wood before applying the resin.
