I'm confused and obviously doing something wrong. I have Hobie's gel putty. As I recall, the directions were three drops catalyst (MEK )per one ounce putty. Mixed well, but remains soft after applied in a few scratches. Any suggestions folks? Confirmed: 1 idiot + polyester gel putty= 1 sticky idiot |

3 drops is not enough per oz. More like 10 or 15 to get it to go off in < 30 minutes. It should eventually go off - heat will help get it going. |

Remember, the reaction is greatly influenced by temperature, and it's exothermic. 15 drops on an 80° day will melt a plastic cup when it goes off. |
