Sticky Etex

Ok, my last batch of etex must've not had the precise amounts of resin and hardener. As of a result, the lures are still sticky after 3 days.

Can I apply another coat or am I going to have to strip the lure completely and start over?

Thanks guys.

Re: Sticky Etex

Sticky epoxy is almost always the product of bad measuring or mixing. You can cure the stickly epoxy most times by recoating it with properly measured and mixed epoxy. It's certainly worth a shot since the alternative is a complete strip job.
