Since I need landing pads I start casting. And with no more Alumilite I use the new stuff. It is supposed to have a tan colour when cured and it is supposed to kick in 5 minutes. So I follow instructions and shake the clear part of the 2 part resin and pour equal amounts into a cup and mix and pour

Um 11 minutes later and it is still clear. I decide to demould the other landing pad.

Well it finally does cure after several hours. I think I did not mix the original container enough. I will know next time and thank goodness it cured
