Hi everyone,

I'm writing a chapter about resin for my new book, and realized that EasyCast doesn't seem to have an "official" working time (does it?) -- the time it normally takes before the resin begins to thicken. What has been your experience with it?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm,  I never noticed that the pot life wasn't included in the instructions. 

I have found that the resin is pourable/workable for about 20-25 minutes.  I'll be curious to see what others have to say.

I don't know if it is the weather or the moon or what, but the working time has varied quite a bit for me. I'd say it is best to have everything prepped and expect to only have 15 minutes of pouring time, although you might have as long as an hour.
