I can't say that I have ever had that problem, usually the opposite though.

first time doing it

i didn't expect great results

I usually over do the hardener which gives you a lot of heat and a really short working time. Luckily chip brushes are 10 for $1 here so I don't really care.

Captain Procrastination for me today...actually most of this week

[///M5 2,833]

got an offer on the house last night, but it sucked.

Yeah , buy chip brushes. You can clean non cured resin from brushes with acetone. BUT by the time your done. You wasted as much money and time to more than make up for the price of a box of chip brushes. I gave up cleaning them years ago , I don't even buy graduated containers anymore. I use coffee cans , and chinese food containers

just tried to fg something...a little test on an old water bottle.

darn mat sticks to my gloves *crying*

I usually apply resin , then lay the mat over top of the resin

did it just like that and then tried to apply pressure with my hand

didn't try to press it with the brush though.

i wonder if it sticks to the brush...

remembered i need to strengthen the center console and i thought about adding a layer of fg on the inside. how could i make it stick to plastic ?

If it sticks to the brush your in trouble, cause that means your resin is starting to cure. Better hurry up

Use epoxy resin instead of polyester is about the only way really. You can drill holes, or scuff the plastic really roughly to give the resin something to hold on to . But it will eventually come loose using polyester resin.

tried the brush shotrly after your reply and it didn't stick.

also turns out it didn't cure. i guess i put too little mekp

Well you can do a couple things , leave it setting in the sun all day, or hit it with a hair dryer or heat gun. IF your working on a project that you intend to keep and this happens. Mix up a really hot batch of resin ( 2-3 times the reccomended mekp ) and brush a coat on over top. Be quick though , cause it's gonna cure quick and really , really hot

i'm going to encounter some more problems...

what i've tried today is just a small experiment. still working with dad on the new garage so my little projects will be on hold

[Adrian_D 520]

as soon as i get some free time i'll try about the same amount of resin with more mekp. and see what happens then

I use disposable plastic cups. Two at a time though as usually buy the time they are empty it has eaten the bottom out of them. Keg cups actually, can't complain with 50 cups for $2
