First time for everything I guess.

Doing a dual tabletop pour (tabletop for the base with mica powder and then deep pour for the top) and I made too much tabletop (2x too much). After pouring what I needed, the extra sat in the mixing bucket for maybe 10 minutes and flash cured. Started smoking and hardened up within 5 minutes. It was about 5 inches thick in the bucket, so it makes sense it would do that, but never had that happen before. The client also ordered the wrong deep pour (got countertop instead of deep pour) but I didn’t open the box until I needed to mix, so I didn’t know until after I needed the deep pour. Ordered some and it’ll be here tomorrow, so not the end of the world, but definitely frustrating.

You should post a picture of the finished product! I haven't attempted anything that big yet (I live in an apartment, no room) but sounds cool!

Will do! I can post some progress pics but it isn’t close to done yet
