Mixed up some epoxy...

Used a small glass jar to mix a small amount of epoxy for a test.
Placed a small amount of the mica color powder in the jar first.
This was a mistake.
Next time, I'll first put the epoxy in the container and slowly add small amounts of the mica to get it to the desired color/tint.



Added the epoxy.
It's a 1 to 1 mix with the catalyst.


Thoroughly mixed with a stick.


Used this depression in an axe to test the epoxy.



The epoxy settles after a few minutes.
It's self leveling.
The consistency of the epoxy is on the more fluid side so it moves and settles slowly.

The working time is pretty long (at least 30 minutes).
The full setting time is 3 days.
