hi all. i made the mistake of pouring my rr hardener out over my mixing cup. some spilled in by accident, but i didn’t know how much. so i added what i thought would be the right amount, thinking at least there would be too much.
it was only a tablespoon amount for one fcs fin plug (i ran out after 4.5 plugs)
it turns out there wasn’t enough hardener, because after two days it is not quite hard. like a very stiff jelly that i can dent with my fingernail. i haven’t sanded down the excess yet, but it seems the plug is in there solid. is there anything i can do to get it to fully harden? or do i have a bit more flex in my fin than normal?
thats why eoxy sucks. totally unforgiving. take them out and do it right. but I dont know anything, Im just a kook. I would personlly just ride it and deal with it after the first session, after the box rips out. I wouldnt even wait a till its cured. I am that impatient. Thats why I cnat stant epoxy. I always ride them before they are fully cured and they mess up every time. but thats just me. and I could be wrong, maybe youre onto something new with the flex finbox. Try it.
Try a little bit of gentle heat for a while to see if it will harden more given a day or two. If that doesn’t help try some not so gentle heat like a hair dryer and see if that will make it runny so you can easily remove the plug. Make sure you don’t overheat the surrounding area tho.
