3 days to totally cure.....and a team of horses could not pull it off.

Just because they give you a small tube of hardener DOES NOT mean you use it all. AS I have written before on numerous other posts...do a test and measure it out that way you will know. Being in 'uncharted' territory...it would be in your best interests to do so. So...weigh out some...and using a hard ruler to measure it out on...apply a consistent bead of hardener and mix it up and see how long it takes AFTER the 3-5 minute induction period you have as per the instructions.

Still waiting for photos of your door sill areas on both sides.

DUB, I still have your notes on the other thread and I was thinking someone else may have had a bad experience but I guess not. I will continue with the restoration on my other thread.

I did some cleaning to that when I take photos of the sill you won't see how messy I work. They will be coming soon.

Thanks for responding.
