Season's greetings to all,

I live in Thailand and know all too well how things operate here (as far as getting what you pay for), I was wondering what the possible symptoms of low quality polyester resin might be?

Is it possible that the resin wouldn't harden overnight if it's of inferior quality?

The average temperature is between 80 and 90 degrees F (sorry to all you folks suffering out there in the temperate world) so I would think that it should set up rather quickly.

BTW, I mixed it really well (I thought) with a drill and mixer for a few minutes at a ratio of 1% catalyst and 1% (of 10%)cobalt promoter. That same mixture had worked just fine on other batches.

Last question: how do you remove an area of soft resin if it doesn't get hard? I'm ready to get messy!

Thanks a lot! Dave
