I really fucked my baffle on my box up. I spray adhesiv'd a sheet onto my MDF ring and started going to town w/ that resin. That was more than three hours ago. The resin is still not cured. It's fucking colder than a penguin's dick, and I was thinking that the temperature could have something to do with it?

Haha, there's about three inches of snow in my yard. Guess I'll have to wait for a sunny day to continue my fiberglass adventures...

Did you follow the recommended ratio in the instructions for your temperature? Or did you just guesstimate and mix?

There wasn't a temperature-sensitive scale. Just a scale. Fourteen drops of hardener for every ounce of resin. I used two ounces, so I put 28 drops hardener in.

There had to be SOMETHING in the instructions about temperature. It will take XXX longer to cure, add XXX more catalyst, etc. I find it hard to believe there wasn't.
