@@vanessanandez exactly! If I had to guess, which I did, he did not scrape the sides and the bottom of the cup while mixing & he didn't mix long enough!
I do appreciate you taking the time to conduct that comparison. Would recommend that you explain what your doing when mixing correctly and the same for the other board. I am one of those DIYers that look for these kinds of videos to learn from. By the way, based on most of the epoxy videos I have seen on YT, mixing by hand is the recommended actions and NOT mixing with A DRILL.
Great Video! Before peeps start hating on the vid, read the video description. Plus, the correct ratio is the 1:1 or 1:2 listed on the jug of epoxy or in the epoxy instructions. The wrong ratio would be anything that isnt 1:1 or 1:2. Also in the correct mixing the instructions will list to stir for 3-5 minutes until mixed well and scrape the sides and bottom. So the wrong mixing will be stirring for less then directed and without scraping sides and bottom. Simply put: for Correct Method follow instructions of epoxy. For Incorrect Method ignore instructions and wing it. That simple.
I believe this would have had way more value if you would have said the correct number mix ratio which is marked on the mixing cup for the correct mix and a wrong mixed ratio that you had for the 2nd
Dragonfly1992 Dragonfly so he the co owner is not going give the correct way and or advise? Kinda dumb the more info the better so we the customers won’t have doubt! Ya big dummy smfh
I’m glad you demonstrated the right and wrong way. Very eye opening to show how important attention to detail is. I’m watching as many videos as I can before I do my own basement. I plan on doing it in a couple of weeks I hope I get it right
@@brandon4514 the scratches can actually go deeper than the poly coat like in my case. sanding it down hoping for a do over is out the question. ill just top it with vinyl planks
GONEWILDFILMS Yes we do. When u order our products we email you detailed tutorial videos of each process depending on what countertop kit or floor kit u ordered.
Even if the ratio is right, mixing with not enough time, not scraping the sides - will mess it up. Constantly scrape the sides while mixing, mix for the recommended time, and DON'T scrape out the final product for use (the stuff clinging to the sides is most likely to be unmixed).
@@blingblingmanomano yes! Actually, the lesser you put the "hardener", the less harder the outcome is. I tried, so ratio really doesn't matter. Mixing it thoroughly is a must if you want to cure it perfectly!
Cam23 You're right. It's not complicated at all but in Leggarris defense not all epoxy/resin is the same. There are also many different uses for it. Just a few ex. are restoring/creating furniture, floors, showers/tubs, boats, walls, sculptures, artwork. There are variance from 1 job to the next as well as 1 manufacturer to the next. There is different ratios, mixing times & directions. There's also weather/temperature adjustments. None of it's 🚀 science and everyone can use e/r but you also have to realize that not everyone has the experience you have nor will everyone be doing the same type of work in the same conditions as you. This stuff isn't cheap so when a customer of theirs is investing hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a product they've never used before I think the co. SHOULD give them instructions. It's good business practice & kudos to them for going the extra mile. Not to mention, I just got sent 2 gallons of bunk. (Out Of Date-Not from this co.) If I didn't know better I would have assumed it was something I was doing wrong & I could have ruined my current project costing me thousands of dollars out of my 👛. Ladies need their $.
So what happens if you use the correct ratio but don't mix it enough? What if you put Part A and Part B in one container and hardly mix them? Do they start to solidify at the points where the mixtures meet, but stay soft through the rest of the fluid?
Damon Diehl yeah I understand that but if u don't put in corect amount of haedner it it won't harden corectly either I'm nearing 15 years of experience with using materials simular . Looks nice when done correctly thumbs up for video
valerie Henry Actally, it did. If you look closely to the right of his hand at 4:24 You can see the long scratch. I do hope that's because it's only 3 days cured. I don't remember for sure if this is the brand that says that it is at its toughest after a 30 day cure. That being said, his point in this video is VERY WELL made. If you don't mix it right, it's soft, pliable, and prone to a large extent of damage with little effort. Nothing an extra 27 days of curing will fix.
It does scratch a little but all resins do. Actually, everything scratches if it isnt a diamond. :) Resin can be repaired with a heat gun on some instances, which is why they make good surfaces for tables and night stands.
I have two questions for you first can you take a,plate out of the microwave and set on this. That is what has ruined my Formica top and two I notice that your guys do not use masks does this mean that there is not a horrible smell and fumes? I love love love the work that you all do . Excellent !
For peace of mind watch our video about setting hot pans on the counters. It’s the video with fire on the cover photo. Working with epoxy everyday we really should wear masks but not there are no obnoxious smells to the epoxy. Safe practice is the best obviously. Thanks for the comment.
He is gouging it with a sharp brand new screwdriver to show how durable it is. This would scratch up any other surface like granite, tile, hardwood, etc. Thanks
fishtank5050 Yeah, I saw that too. Wonder if it would scratch after a few more days. I really wish they would address this. I don't want to order it anymore after seeing that
I haven't used their products yet but am fairly experienced in working with epoxy resins. Epoxy is more likely to get scratched than for example polyurethane because it is more brittle. But the curing process usually takes longer than the three days shown here, so it will be even more resistant after a week. Also note that the screwdriver he used probably has a hardened steel tip, which easily scratches most materials (it's relative scratch hardness can be as high as that of quartz!)The bad one will probably never fully cure. Correct resin/hardener ratio is crucial whren working with epoxy!
Y’all are dumb. Gouge anything with a screw driver I’m sure it will leave a mark, like granite, marble, or laminate. It’s not a magical product. Take care of it and he’ll be fine.
@@kiela17 it scratches. im surprised their consumers havent commented. 3 years later my floors are scratched to hell. the scratches are deeper than the top coat too
had flooding in our basement from Harvey...Had someone come in to Epoxy flooring on the concrete. Most of it looks great. There are some areas that did not take. I suppose one could guess the rest of this. Contractor is not answering calls to come and fix. "Contractors" taking off have reached epidemic levels in our area. What you have described is exactly what has happened. I would like to know what I can do to fix this as I believe the contractor will probably never answer calls and my furniture is still on the back porch! Any help or answers would be welcome!
You could always do,it over what has been done incorrectly. It would be expensive, but its obviously niy going to last like this. Plus if you already have all your stuff out of there, thars galf tge battle!! I would just do it over, the correct way, then have a beautiful, durable flior for years to come.
I scraped from the bottom of the bucket, and the part of floor made from that scrap is now soft. Its been 3 weeks from aplication, still soft. @Leggari Please tell me what to do now? Thanks
One thing I would like to know, and I can't find the answer. If, after I finish with the epoxy coat, i don't like the pattern. Can I reapply a new epoxy coat or do I need to somehow strip off the first coat?
it might eventually harden through CO2 but it would also become opaque with white blemishes it might never harden depending on the axact chamisty of the hardener used
Man I really love these designs and think they’d look awesome in my basement but it seems like the margin of error is small. I’d hate to spend $6k (based on the calculator from the website) only to have a horrific looking floor.
Did you put a second layer on either one for trying clear coat effect? Because if not they still have an amazing shine to them. Do you need a special type of paint to mix the epoxy with or no?
We warranty all our products against delamination (peeling off sub-straights). Also against defective products up until an installation has been successfully completed
I’m working on a project which is a large map of an island (24”x30”) made out of sand and glue. The ocean and lakes have been made with colored resin. Different blues in the ocean. I now need to sand it to tidy up some ugly ripples before applying the final layer of clear resin. I need the resin to be thin in order to work around the fiddley edges of the island. I also need more working time. What is the best way to thin the resin? I will be mixing approximately 20oz of mixed resin total (10oz of each resin and hardener).
Would have been nice if you explained the correct ratio of apoxy and hardener. Or was that ready mixed apoxy and all you had to do was stir it for long enough. I’ve never done this before but am keen to do a coffee table at home. Table is 3ft / 18inches. How much apoxy should I purchase?
Can I ask a question ...I paint river rocks ( mainly turn them into animals etc ) when finished I resin them and I get a nice shiny glass finish - until now ?? this latest batch of 2 to 1 resin is a worry -- when it sets hard its dull ( like hazy ? for lack of a better word ) never had this happen before and always used the same brand of high quality resin from the same supplier and ideas ?? as to why this would happen , many thanks..
Do you not have to use a mask with the epoxy you're using? I'm only asking because I've learned of people getting sick from not using protection while using epoxy. If so, is it a natural or chemical free epoxy, and what type is it? Thanks
I have a counter that runs approx 11.5 feet long x 24" deep, then the smaller area around the sink that is about 5 ft. long x 24" deep. My question is....do you have "smaller" kits that would be for this small of a counter space...or only kits for larger areas???
So what was the problem exactly? Not mixing long enough and incorrect measuring? Will that softness ever harden up or is it a total loss? How does temperature affect the dry time and final overall consistency? If it's still sticky (and not just soft), does that mean it's still curing and just give it more time?
Had some counter tops done. Bar was perfect. Counter tops along the walls actually soften with heat. I think the second layer was mixed wrong, and the top clear coat was done right. You can literally move it with your fingers like a hard bubble of water. I was told that it was probably the temperature of the room? When we did the Bar it was about 70, when we did the counter top, it was 90 in a new construction. Any info on this would be great.
I have noticed strong fumes from using it. Is it supposed to smell very strong. I was using it and had to run to another room in my apartment. I then opened all the windows. My right nostril is burning a little bit. I hope I am ok. Also what would happen if you use the hardner by itself? Also how do you safely sand without experiencing any toxic effects?
I know this was done years ago & idk if you moniter old video comments.... i just did my counters & it soft. Should i wait after the 3 days to see if its still soft?
If it is still soft after a couple days the resin probably didn't get mixed well enough! email customerservice@leggari.com and they will be able to help you!
Hi, I have to finish 2 rooms, thinking about using Leggari. However I have done 4 rooms one room the Floor is tacky after polyurethane. I used Denatured alcohol twice on the floor. . The floor is still slightly tacky and I can basically scrape the polyurethane off with a screwdriver. Fyi, I waited 24 hours between coats. Any advice?
Email us directly at leggari@gmail.com with pictures. Can you also let us know what and who's product you used. Then we can determine a fix for this. Thanks
Our counter top kits are rated for high heat and our urethane top coat is extremely scratch resistant, but we still recommend using cutting boards and pot holders like any other high end counter so that your counters look good for years to come. Thanks
I just did my sample kit, the video said mix for a minute and a half, but it's a little soft just like the incorrect one in this video. It's been 24 hours right now. Do I need to wait longer?
Yes it can be put over tile, but you need to fill all your grout seams with multi purpose bondo from home depot, then sand it smooth, this will scuff up your tiles also, then wipe it clean with denatured alcohol then you are ready to apply our epoxy. ua-cam.com/video/g8GzsL0kpns/v-deo.html
Dont know if you help out or not. But my brother did an epoxy countertop and the top was wavy and there were large holes where it looks like it was repelled or something. Any thoughts or remedies?
May I ask you about powder mixing? In your video I see the small dots from the pigment. In other videos I see just the color, no dots. I like your effect and I wondering if there is different mixing techniques. thank you
@@LeggariProducts I still do not understand what's wrong in Part B, the mixing techniques & application techniques are the same between Part A & Part B
Hahahaha did you listen to what he said? "it's like scratching glass" Glass will scratch if u rub a sharp object on it and the sharp corner of the flat tip screw driver will scratch anything!
That’s all you took from this video? It’s a scratch, not a gouge. I don’t think they “intentionally” hid anything, after all, they could have edited it out. Now, I wish I could take you out for an arbitrary coffee somewhere & find out who/what has made you so suspicious & untrusting. Big hugs 🤗
Any tips on removing a finger print? I didn't let mine cure 100% and accidentally grabbed the edge leaving half a thumb print. Tried using non-acetone nail polish remover on a Q-tip lightly and it helped, but it left a small amount of residue where the print was. I was thinking something with a petroleum based additive maybe, but I don't know. I do know when it comes to almost everything I've done in the finishing world that less is always best. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
If you have not applied a top coat you can sand the surface with 220 grit using a palm sander in circular motion then clean with denatured alcohol then apply the top coat. You can also try to buff it out. Thanks
Ok, my mistake was not mixing the ratio for the complete 3 minutes, hence causing it to be tacky. The denatured alcohol only dulled the surface and same with a 320 and 220 grit. I used WD-40 and it got rid of the tackiness. Typically I use that when cleaning up caulking on jobsites, and it always worked, so decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, had nothing to lose at this point. Then I used Helmsman poly (uv resistant) in a semi gloss. Problem solved! Lesson I learned - don't fuuuuk with epoxy directions!) Why I didn't mix for the total 3 mins? Well I use Gorilla glue epoxy frequently and you can mix for 30 secs and it works just fine. I had presumed in my infinite amateur wisdom, that all epoxies cured the same, and that Parks Super Glaze was being ridiculous. Bottom line for newcomers to the world of epoxies...read and follow directions thoroughly!! I almost ruined a very important project I was making as a gift.
I just did the "know it all" way and totally screwed up a 7 ft piece of yew wood I've been working on for a counter too. I've got Hard and sticky areas- what do I do to save it?
If the spots are sticky and not pure liquid then there’s a chance that over time (possibly a long time) it will still get hard. If the spots are still liquid or you just don’t have the time to wait you should try and scrape off what you can and sand/grind the rest off. If it’s just a clear coat of epoxy that’s much easier, scrape off the soft spots, wipe the remaining residue with acetone to clean it off then flood the area again with clear epoxy. Hope that helps. Thanks
Hi, newbie here . Did you have both parts of epoxy already mixed in that big container ? And was the gold an Acrylic paint? Also how much roughly for those 2 areas ? It's around same size as what I want to do Thank you for the upload 👍

No it wouldnt because not the correct amount of hardener was added

it might eventually harden through CO2 but it would also become opaque with white blemishes
it might never harden depending on the axact chamisty of the hardener used

I also need more working time. What is the best way to thin the resin? I will be mixing approximately 20oz of mixed resin total (10oz of each resin and hardener).
Our epoxy resin has more working time than any product on the market. You will not need to thin our product out. Thanks
What material is the roller? Is that a sponge roller?
Would have been nice if you explained the correct ratio of apoxy and hardener. Or was that ready mixed apoxy and all you had to do was stir it for long enough. I’ve never done this before but am keen to do a coffee table at home. Table is 3ft / 18inches. How much apoxy should I purchase?
Can I ask a question ...I paint river rocks ( mainly turn them into animals etc ) when finished I resin them and I get a nice shiny glass finish - until now ?? this latest batch of 2 to 1 resin is a worry -- when it sets hard its dull ( like hazy ? for lack of a better word ) never had this happen before and always used the same brand of high quality resin from the same supplier and ideas ?? as to why this would happen , many thanks..
Any fixing a soft spot? I recently did 1,300sq ft floor and have one little soft gooey spot.
Awesome tutorial 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, take a look at our online brochure. Thanks

Also will the right ratio matter if you are using it for art like paperweights
Yes you want all your ratios to be exact. Thanks
Do you not have to use a mask with the epoxy you're using? I'm only asking because I've learned of people getting sick from not using protection while using epoxy. If so, is it a natural or chemical free epoxy, and what type is it? Thanks
How do you clean the brushes after using resin? I find cleaning up resin quite difficult.
I have a counter that runs approx 11.5 feet long x 24" deep, then the smaller area around the sink that is about 5 ft. long x 24" deep. My question is....do you have "smaller" kits that would be for this small of a counter space...or only kits for larger areas???
The smallest kit we have does 50 sq. ft. at this time. Thanks
So what was the problem exactly? Not mixing long enough and incorrect measuring? Will that softness ever harden up or is it a total loss?
How does temperature affect the dry time and final overall consistency?
If it's still sticky (and not just soft), does that mean it's still curing and just give it more time?
How long do you have to wait till you start blending the colors??
Once you put the base coat down you immediately blend in the highlight color or colors. Thanks
Oh okay thank you 🙏🏾
Would it work as good if you mix it with a tool like a drill? Would it cause more air bubbles? Would it shorten the stirring time?
Yes you can use a drill to mix the product. You will mix the epoxy for about 3-4 minutes. Thanks
What is the appropriate mixing time?
Check out the tutorial video on our website at www.leggari.com, we have a mixing tutorial video. Thanks
Had some counter tops done. Bar was perfect. Counter tops along the walls actually soften with heat. I think the second layer was mixed wrong, and the top clear coat was done right. You can literally move it with your fingers like a hard bubble of water. I was told that it was probably the temperature of the room? When we did the Bar it was about 70, when we did the counter top, it was 90 in a new construction. Any info on this would be great.
Hi there, did you use our products to do your counter tops?
Need help...today i built a table top of epoxy...and i dont know how the steam started coming out of it....and it all got hard in jist few minutes...
I have noticed strong fumes from using it. Is it supposed to smell very strong. I was using it and had to run to another room in my apartment. I then opened all the windows. My right nostril is burning a little bit. I hope I am ok. Also what would happen if you use the hardner by itself? Also how do you safely sand without experiencing any toxic effects?
The product is very low VOC’s meaning it has little to no smell at all. It’s 100% solids so there’s no toxins evaporating in the air.
When buying your product, Does the tutorials include sample board size measurements or a chart for different sized wall art? Thanks so much!
Hello! We don't but the kits cover 50sq. ft. if you're talking about Liquid Glass Epoxy, that can cover up to 150 sq. ft. for art pieces.
I know this was done years ago & idk if you moniter old video comments.... i just did my counters & it soft. Should i wait after the 3 days to see if its still soft?
If it is still soft after a couple days the resin probably didn't get mixed well enough! email customerservice@leggari.com and they will be able to help you!
Hi, I have to finish 2 rooms, thinking about using Leggari. However I have done 4 rooms one room the Floor is tacky after polyurethane. I used Denatured alcohol twice on the floor. . The floor is still slightly tacky and I can basically scrape the polyurethane off with a screwdriver. Fyi, I waited 24 hours between coats. Any advice?
Email us directly at leggari@gmail.com with pictures. Can you also let us know what and who's product you used. Then we can determine a fix for this. Thanks
My kids often use the counter tops to cut stuff on them, will the epoxy hold up to this kind of treatment ?
Our counter top kits are rated for high heat and our urethane top coat is extremely scratch resistant, but we still recommend using cutting boards and pot holders like any other high end counter so that your counters look good for years to come. Thanks
How do I cut off my rounded edge countertops in my kitchen to make a flat surface?
What is the wood to you used for rios video
We applied the epoxy over plywood. Thanks
@@LeggariProducts thank you so much
Hi, is epoxy resin flammable?
No it is not flammable at all. It is a 100% solid. Thanks
@@LeggariProducts, oh ok thanks. How durable is it though? Especially, in the kitchen counter top where all the hammering, scratching are done
How is the correct mixing ratio??
4:24 It scratched
Yes a screw driver will absolutely scratch epoxy, and just about any surface for that matter.
true
but it didn't leave holes and gouges.....I think you missed the point of the vid...
looking to make a Black Harley table with bar & shield decal in center of table any suggestion?
Contact leggari@gmail.com with your questions and they can help you out. Thanks
This was VERY VERY helpful. Im new to the epoxy world. May I ask what brand epoxy you use
We use Leggari epoxy. Check us out on our website at www.leggari.com. Thanks
How do you make your different colors?
Our colors are all metallic powders and we add them to the epoxy. Thanks
How do you fix the epoxy if it’s mixed incorrectly? Do you have to redo everything?
If it don't hardener
How do you fix it
If this happens is there a way to correct it? Can a clear coat be added that is mixed correctly?
Yes you can sand it down with 120 grit to scuff up the surface then clean it with denatured alcohol then reapply our product. Thanks
@@LeggariProducts thank you.
My question is, is the rubbery resin still toxic or can you just put a thin layer of well mixed epoxy over it and it be fine?
Contact our technition and he would be able to help you out with that question, at cody@leggari.com
I just did my sample kit, the video said mix for a minute and a half, but it's a little soft just like the incorrect one in this video. It's been 24 hours right now. Do I need to wait longer?
It takes seven days to fully cure.
ok good. It doesn't look nearly as bad as the one in this video so I'll keep waiting. Thanks! It looks awesome and was super easy to do.
Is that for sell? You are a wonderful artist.
We sell the epoxy on our website at www.leggari.com.
Is countertop/bar top epoxy resin different than epoxy resins used for fiberglassing?
OMG, THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO ON UA-cam THAT I ACTUALLY WALKED AWAY FEELING DUMBER.
Thanks for watching the video
jokes on you because you watched it and gave them add revenue for doing so
can i use it over a floor tile
Yes it can be put over tile, but you need to fill all your grout seams with multi purpose bondo from home depot, then sand it smooth, this will scuff up your tiles also, then wipe it clean with denatured alcohol then you are ready to apply our epoxy.

Awesome video so clear n precise ,thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching
Hi frd what is the correct radio for rock
What's the difference between the two tables? and What led to that
The only difference is that one was done with the correct 2:1 ratio and the other one was not done with the correct ratios.
Dont know if you help out or not. But my brother did an epoxy countertop and the top was wavy and there were large holes where it looks like it was repelled or something. Any thoughts or remedies?
Email us pics at leggari@gmail.com so we can take a look at it. Thanks
Is there any way to salvage this stuff if we mess it up? I dont have any experience with this
Yes, you just have to sand it really good with 80 grit then you can reapply the product. Thanks
May I ask you about powder mixing?
In your video I see the small dots from the pigment. In other videos I see just the color, no dots. I like your effect and I wondering if there is different mixing techniques.
thank you
There is not different mixing techniques but there is different application techniques. Thanks
online.flippingbook.com/view/364043
@@LeggariProducts I still do not understand what's wrong in Part B, the mixing techniques & application techniques are the same between Part A & Part B
By what amount was the ratio off ???
Is there anything Mr. Knowitall can do at this point to possibly salvage an area that was not mixed properly?
Thanks for watching the video
Please tell me how much pigment I need to add to isopropyl alcohol in order to get a nice splash effect?
did you seriously not show the scratch on the good one? we can see you briefly doing it then you zoom all the way in intentionally hiding it
Hahahaha did you listen to what he said? "it's like scratching glass" Glass will scratch if u rub a sharp object on it and the sharp corner of the flat tip screw driver will scratch anything!
absolutely, the point is that he intentionally hides it to make it seem as if their product was ever stronger than it is
Yes i saw it too
Yeah but u can probably buff a scratch like that out. Of course epoxy can be scratched it's just a hard plastic
That’s all you took from this video? It’s a scratch, not a gouge. I don’t think they “intentionally” hid anything, after all, they could have edited it out.
Now, I wish I could take you out for an arbitrary coffee somewhere & find out who/what has made you so suspicious & untrusting. Big hugs 🤗
Is there a way to FIX this once it’s at this point? Can you pour a hardener over it?? What can you do to fix it?????
May one simply put clear over bad, providing it’s mixed properly?
Seriously?! You basically didn’t add any hardner.
Josh Mallett that’s the point to show you how it could end up with the wrong ratio he could have put a lot more or a lot less
Exopy has two parts, Resin & Harderener.
If you can read, read your Epoxy Tubes.
Any tips on removing a finger print? I didn't let mine cure 100% and accidentally grabbed the edge leaving
half a thumb print. Tried using non-acetone nail polish remover on a Q-tip lightly and it helped,
but it left a small amount of residue where the print was. I was thinking something with a petroleum
based additive maybe, but I don't know. I do know when it comes to almost everything I've done
in the finishing world that less is always best. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
If you have not applied a top coat you can sand the surface with 220 grit using a palm sander in circular motion then clean with denatured alcohol then apply the top coat. You can also try to buff it out. Thanks
@@LeggariProducts Thanks for the tip!
Ok, my mistake was not mixing the ratio for the complete 3 minutes, hence causing it to be tacky. The denatured alcohol only dulled the surface and same with a 320 and 220 grit. I used WD-40 and it got rid of the tackiness. Typically I use that when cleaning up caulking on jobsites,
and it always worked, so decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, had nothing to lose at this point.
Then I used Helmsman poly (uv resistant) in a semi gloss. Problem solved!
Lesson I learned - don't fuuuuk with epoxy directions!)
Why I didn't mix for the total 3 mins? Well I use Gorilla glue epoxy frequently and you can mix for 30 secs and it works just fine. I had presumed in my infinite amateur wisdom, that all epoxies cured the same, and that Parks Super Glaze was being ridiculous. Bottom line for newcomers to the world of epoxies...read and follow directions thoroughly!! I almost ruined a very important project I was making as a gift.
I just did the "know it all" way and totally screwed up a 7 ft piece of yew wood I've been working on for a counter too. I've got Hard and sticky areas- what do I do to save it?
If the spots are sticky and not pure liquid then there’s a chance that over time (possibly a long time) it will still get hard. If the spots are still liquid or you just don’t have the time to wait you should try and scrape off what you can and sand/grind the rest off. If it’s just a clear coat of epoxy that’s much easier, scrape off the soft spots, wipe the remaining residue with acetone to clean it off then flood the area again with clear epoxy. Hope that helps. Thanks
Hi, newbie here . Did you have both parts of epoxy already mixed in that big container ? And was the gold an Acrylic paint?
Also how much roughly for those 2 areas ?
It's around same size as what I want to do
Thank you for the upload 👍
