How do you know when it's dry?

Mine's been drying for 16 hours now (industrial strength, it says 14 hrs on the pkging). It still looks glossy and I can kinda scrape my fingernail into it a little bit. Is that how this stuff is supposed to be when it's dry? thanks!

 

did you mix it right? 50/50 sounds like you may have had to much steel not enough hrdner if its not rock hard after 16 hrs. I usally use a touch more hardner when I mix to be safe. Unless you have it in a really humid enviroment .. then it may take longer

 

yeah i mixed it 50/50. ... yeah it's been kinda humid here.

Does it still have a glossy look when dry?

 

Um, I can't really decide on that ... I always sand mine when dry. But you should NOT be able to scrape your nail into it, if its done right and fully set .. so I would wait a while.

 

now anwser my question

50/50 should harden hard.

If it's original JB Weld, it usually won't be dry for about 24-30 hours.

Next time use JB Kwik.

 

I would give it a good 24hrs. to dry. Putting a good hot light bulb next to it helps some. As far as glossy mine was when it dried all the way but it was hard, like metal hard.
