So it's been about a month and some parts of my tank that I used pond armor on are still tacky. The majority is bone dry. I was thinking about having a fan blow over it to see if that drys it up.
Pond Armor still tacky
- Thread starter M3AN ONE
- Start date
I had some pond armor that stayed tacky for 2 weeks, figured I just had a couple spots where it wasn't mixed properly. I would try a fan or hair dryer, and if that doesn't work either put on another layer or give it more time.
I just used Pond Armor and had somewhat the same issue with one coat and only part of it. I don't think I mixed it thoroughly enough in that spot. The black part stays sticky forever, its the clear that makes it harden. Make sure your ratios are right and stir it well. I just put another coat over the sticky part and it worked fine.
I would overlay with black + clear 2/1 in the proper ratio. Do a sanding first.
yeah something is not right if its been a month, I had water in mine 3 days after the last coat, id say you either didn't have enough hardener or you didn't mix it well enought, did you delute the hardener? Did you mix the hardener with the alcohol first before you added the pond shield?
I'd sand it down or use denatured alcohol to remove it and then re apply it. Pond armor should have dried within the first day. It sounds like it didn't get mixed correctly or the pond armor went bad (age or stored incorrectly).
