One time I attempted to coat a painting I made with Envirotex. This is
similar to the resin hardener stuff we are familiar with except it remains
slightly flexible is is good for preserving photographs. The revelance to
tesla coiling is that if the ambient temperature is too low, it may NEVER
harden. I made this mistake. Rather than hardening in a uniform manner, it
hardened in spots as if I hadn't even mixed it. 

I had used this stuff many times and always mixed it thorouly, so check the
can, make sure the area you work in is at least as warm as any minimum
temperature mentioned on the can and then some if you can. Otherwise you may
end up with a sticky mess out of your secondary and it may even eventually
eat the plastic if it don't harden fast enough.

Test spots are always good. One resin may eat PVC and another brand may not.

Sundog,
Didn't you read my post regaurding this "shtuff"? If you missed that one,
here's what you should've got out of it...

1.Mix, Mix, Mix, and Mix some more! The better you mix, the easier it is to
work with. It also dries MUCH faster... well, that is, it SETS faster. It
needs 24 hrs for a full cure. 

Snip!
