sounds like not enough hardener, usually its a 1 to 1 ratio if you buy them together, if there isn't enough hardener, it should just take longer to harden, correct me if I'm wrong

i used this thing its packaged and you only use part of it at a time....its two seperate bottle with a syringe pushing them both, but the hardener always comes out slower so ther is less of it......

i used the same one, but you just gotta make sure you get a one to one mix, like push harder on the harder to get out side

jea, thanks but now i have the other epoxy that still isnt hardening its just goopy and it does nothing when i remove the clamps......will it harden? or should i just mix new epoxy and add it to that or try wiping out the old and then putting in the new?
