Hey, I am asking here because I found no better community.

I am using Epoxy Resin quite a lot simply for glueing stuff together, not the other type for like transparent furniture and all.

I glued something but added too much resin and too little of the “Härter” compound.

So it stays sticky.

I read heat could help but doubt it. Do I need to remove it and apply again?

    How long has it been curing and how off was the mixture?

    Way too little hardener = will remain tacky

    Somewhat too little hardener = will cure, just more slowly

    Too much hardener = will cure quickly

    The specifics come down to the expoy in question and whether or not the maker pads their ratio one way or the other to make it easier to use.

    If you’re only somewhat off, I would give it time and you’ll probably be OK. If you’re way off, I would still give it time but would be less hopeful.
