Fortunately, this is one of the easiest things to fix when epoxy goes wrong. If there are no soft spots, or runny epoxy, on your project, you can simply pour properly measured and mixed resin over the epoxy surface. Then, let it cure properly.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you found that the initial problem was that the temperature was too cold, move your resin piece to a warmer spot and give it 24 hours \u2013 you may find it will cure fully then.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #00b7d5;\"><strong>You can also try to sand the surface with several grits of wet\/dry sandpaper. You could well sand through the top, sticky layer and get to a solid surface underneath it. This you can then finish as desired.

If you do this, then any unmixed resin or hardener may get into your epoxy resin pour and cause areas of soft, or wet, spots in the cured product.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>How to fix Soft Spots in Resin<\/h3>\n<p>First, scrape off any soft or wet resin as best you can. If you don\u2019t, it may leak out from the new layer that you will apply later. For the entirely cured resin, take some coarse-grit sandpaper (say, 80 grit) and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/en\/guide\/sanding-epoxy-resin\">sand the entire surface Epoxy surface<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When you are done, make sure you wipe the surface with a damp paper towel to remove the sanding dust. Dry the surface well. You will notice that this is similar to surface preparation for adding new layers for a deeper pour.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #00b7d5;\"><strong>Once the surface has been sanded, you got rid of all the soft resin, and the surface is dry, you can apply a new coat of epoxy resin.
