I have tried three separate times to resin a pepakura model made with cardstock, and all three times it has failed. The first time, I mixed it correctly, coated the model, waited two hours, just like the directions on the can say, and the model was not even remotely dry. It was as if i had just coated it. I decided to wait 24 hours to see if that made a difference, maybe the humidity had made the dry time longer. NO. The model was still tacky/sticky after letting it dry 24 hours. I scrapped that model and tried a second time. The same thing happened. Third time, measured out the hardener and the resin super-accurately, mixed it thoroughly for a good 3 minutes, and it's been about two hours and it's still tacky. The strange thing is that the leftover in the mixing bucket has turned into something resembling a hockey puck every time. Hard as a rock. Any ideas as to why my resin hardens and drys perfectly in the bucket, but refuses to dry on the model. It is getting so frustrating that I'm liable to blow a gasket and introduce the drywall in my garage to my fist. Help.
