Q
why is my epoxy resin not drying
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
If your epoxy resin isn't drying, several factors might be influencing this issue. Firstly, check the mixing ratio of the resin and hardener; an incorrect ratio can significantly impact curing. Ensure you're using the right proportions as specified by the manufacturer. Secondly, temperature plays a crucial role in the curing process. Epoxy typically cures best between 73°F and 78°F (23°C-26°C). Cooler temperatures slow down the chemical reaction, while excessively hot conditions can cause improper curing. Thirdly, ensure that the surfaces being bonded or coated are clean and free of contaminants like dust, oils, or waxes, which can hinder adhesion and curing. Lastly, consider the age of the epoxy product. Old or expired resin may not cure properly. If issues persist, try a different brand or consult with the manufacturer for specific troubleshooting advice.
