Aeropoxy doesn't cure very fast below 70F, and certainly not in the lower 60's. Heat it up to 78F or so and it'll probably finish curing in a few hours. The tacky places you found are probably thinner areas where there wasn't enough volume in one place to go exothermic and warm the stuff up to the point of curing. Trying warming it all up, and I'll bet it'll be fine. But if it's been above 75 or so for days and is still tacky, you probably have other problems as mentioned by Ron. Aeropoxy doesn't usually have any kind of tacky film on the surface though. Mark Langford n5...@hiwaay.net website www.n56ml.com
