Usually the PR is tacky if you have done the mix when the temperature was very low, so not sure what has happened with this mix John .. :nooidea:

Mine felt tacky on the outside but where in fact fine to get rid of the tackyness a quick wash in soapy water with a scourer or rub it with some baby powder:mooney2:

Makes you gasp when guys talk about turning their casts shortly after taking them out of the molds within half a day total.
