Model Forum / General / Railroads / November 2004Sticky river
I poured the top coat of EnviroTex on Friday night. Most of it turned out fine. However, one section about eight inches long still has a sticky feel. It is dry to the touch if you slide a finger across it, but if you press straight down -- it has a sticky feel to it. It doesn't hold objects that contact it, a finger doesn't leave prints in it, but it has that strange feel to it. Does it need more time [48 hours so far], or will I have to pour another coat on top of it? Or is there something to apply to clean it up and make it dry like the rest of the river? BTW, it is no thicker there than in other dry areas. > I poured the top coat of EnviroTex on Friday night. Most of it turned > out fine.

A tip, cover the area with a sheet of plastic until it's cured to keep dust off.

The cloth took on a light blue color [I used food coloring to tint the EnviroTex]. Turned a fan on it. Three hours later, it is dry and the sticky feel is gone. For good, I hope. > I poured the top coat of EnviroTex on Friday night. Most of it turned > out fine.

BTW, it is no thicker there than in other dry areas. Maybe you didn't quite mix that batch well enough. Or added too much tinting agent? Or had too much resin and not enough hardener in that batch. But it looks like you lucked out this time. Peteski >> Still sticky this morning, so I wiped the surface with alcohol.
