A tip for small quantities. Prep and mark up the work. Spilt the material in two lots and mix one. Go hell for leather on one side, aiming to do half the job. If you don't quite make it, you know what you have to make up on the second shot  |
I had the same experience with West Epoxy, the secret is to use wide shallow pots rather than deep pots. It keeps the mix cooler & slows it down.

I had a load of old Halfords resin and hardener I found in a scrap boat I bought a few years ago so I did some experimenting.
It NEARLY caught fire, it melted the pot it was in and the popping blew the resin apart 
Looking loads better there

What a job
Lovely job >>> hope you aren't charging yourself too high an hourly rate !
Dave Picton would be impressed by your efforts and workmanship ,,,,, at the same time as being very pee''@d off at the state one of his babies was in.
You should have asked him about warranty 
On the water in 2012 ???
