Ernest,
I did all of mine with a 50/50 mixture of fast and
slow hardner. I did some layups in 90+ temps. Just
make sure that you don't leave any mixed epoxy
unattended. Keep it stirred up, and or keep brushing
it in. At a 50/50 mix, mine still took about 4 hours
to get to the chewing gum stage, and as I recall the
fast, is 2-3 hours to get there. I don't think that
you'll have any trouble, but if you need any help with
big layups, let me know.
Thank you, Steve. You're on my list of people to call now. I've been doing the mix, just like you showed me. Saturday, a week ago, I was getting my two boys all trained up in how to do layups. The goal was to have help with these large pieces. Everything was going as well as could be expected, until around 11:00 when it started warming up. It started getting hard faster than I could get the epoxy on. Could very well have been my technique, but I don't think I could have worked with just fast hardener.
However as Joe suggested, Wicks is coming through. The nice lady said they are expecting a new shipment "any day now". I've cancelled the ACS order and, I'll be ordering from Wick's.
