even the instructions says it dries in ten minutes (withot the acrylic).

so now for the rest of the story. i was sitting on the ground in front of the valve. i had mixed a batch and it wasnt enough to finish so i was in a rush to mix another batch so it could be curing as one.

i was mixing in a small clear cup they give you. i had poured the white powder in and a squirt of black acrylic and had taken the cap off the small glass bottle of activator and had poured just a little of the activator in the cup. fumblefingers dropped the cap in the cup. now i had powder, black acrylic and activator on on the inside of the cap. i was in a rush since i had to get it done quickly as it cures REALLY quickly. i grabbed the cap out and now i had all this stuff on my hands and inside the cap. my hands quickly became very black and it was a mess. i didnt want the cap to plast-aid itself to the bottle (hmmmm i dont know if it sticks to glass) and the other stuff way curing.

oh well, i got it done but not without making a mess.

typical for me btw.

at work the other day my secretary (and she has worked for me for 21 years) looked at my hands and said "i see you have been working on the coach". in other words, my hands are all scratched up, usually stained with something.....

good news is there are no currently healing cuts or recent scars on my head....
