One and a half to two minutes of aggressive mixing, swiping the sides and bottom is recommended. Be sure mix ratio is two parts resin to one part hardener. Use clean plastic or uncoated paper cups or buckets and a clean mix stick. Blush may form over the fast mix MAS Hardener and MAS Resin. The MAS Slow mix generally will not blush.
Blush is noticeable as a slippery film formed over the cured surfaces.
If more than 30 hours pass between coats, we recommend a light scuff sand. For bonding, anything over 45 o F is adequate. Latex gloves and other personal protection should always be used. If you should get any epoxy on your skin, it should be cleaned off with a waterless soap immediately, then thoroughly washed with soap and water. Tools can be washed with white vinegar or isopropyl alcohol.
