[VFB] Sticky Finish

[StevenOjai]

I've been trying to finish a rod but the finish keeps remaining sticky. It's Flex-coat Lite and is about 4 years old lying unopened in a drawer in the garage until now. I'm using a plastic spoon to measure the amounts since these are bottles and not syringes. I've recoated three times thinking that maybe I didn't get an accurate amount. I'm sure that it is well mixed and have tried pre-heating the bottles in a water bath. Does this stuff age?? Do I need to get new finish , preferably in a syringe? Kind of ticked off about this since the finsh is starting to be overbuilt for the rod and I don't want to start over.
