wcbrown Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) i have some older evercoat eurosoft and though NOT dried out it is a bit lumpy. i bought some plastic honey to thin it and that's working, i do "chop" it up before blending the hardener. i laid some on my IMSA Olds project tonight and found when i started to sand not all the filler had cured. any tips on what i can do in this situation? thanks.

Mike Kucaba Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I think the stuff was bad and if you could not blend them until the mix was smooth it should be tossed. You may want to grind or sand out what you have applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I've never had Eurosoft go lumpy on me, but i HAVE had it go all nasty an MOLDY on me. Had to throw it out and at it's cost, it's NOT a cheap way to go. MAYBE if you keep mashin it when you take it from the can you can squish the lumps out of it before you add the hardener.

Craig Irwin Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Did you let if freeze over the winter? If so it's time to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I've had it happen due to inactivity or flat out lack of use. You might want to try mixing it some more with the plastic honey (not sure what that is to be honest) to make sure it's homogenous and all the lumps have been reabsorbed. Short of that, it's time to start with a new can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 PS, the lumps are junk! Don't try to mix them in. You MIGHT have some luck removing them and using whats left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Irwin Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 What the heck is plastic honey? Resin, sometimes called Bondo thinner. Fiberglass resin will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 To just fish out the nasty stuff and use whats still soft and pliable sounds like a good way to save whats left. At it's cost, that's what I'd try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcbrown Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 What the heck is plastic honey? it's been sealed for awhile, it's not dried out by any means, never frozen. just inactive. the "lumps" are not that big, i was just hoping maybe someone knew a more efficient way of breaking them down. they WILL blend once they are "crushed" , it's just such a pain to stir this stuff and not have it overflow the can and all over my work table!
