I have just made a table in epoxy resin, however in some places the resin is soft. What product would you advise me to put on my resin to restore its solidity?
I think you didn’t mix the resin with the hardener well. You must also respect the quantities between the resin and the hardener, look at the technical sheet of your product, in the end you can be sure that you are working at room temperature (15 to 25 degrees) and stable. In my opinion, the only product to use to repair your table is to put a well-prepared resin after cleaning the areas where it has softened.
