      I purchased the 3/4 gal kit Resin Obsession Deep Pout epoxy resin on Amazon marketplace 11/20/2020. Used it yesterday 12/10/2020 for my project outdoors in 70-73 degree temperatures– mixed according to the directions 16 oz of Part A and 8 oz part B for a 1/4″ layer for my project. After 5 hours the mixture was still very much a liquid and not setting – after 19 hours it is starting to set but still can put a toothpick into it. The lot numbers on my bottles are Part A #20290015 and Part B #20290015 — are they old and no longer doing their chemical reaction?? I really thought I only had 2 hours before it would start to set up. Then as an experiment I mixed 1 part A with 1 part B and after 15 hours it is still very liquidy and not setting. I believe there is something wrong with the reaction. Help!!

      Hi Gay,

      I know we’ve also been in touch with this by email, but I wanted to answer you here too.

      I can understand your concern about the length of curing time. It is normal for this resin to take 24 to 48 hours to start to harden. The thinner the pour, the longer curing will take. More details about this resin can be found as a part of the mixing instructions here: https://www.resinobsession.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Resin-Obsession-deep-pour-casting-resin-mixing-instructions.pdf.

      To make sure this resin cures, you need to keep the curing area warm the entire time, which is 48 to 72 hours.
