I left the windows open last night, so it as probaby in the low 60's overnight, but I closed things up in the morning and it was back up to 70 by the time I checked on them at lunchtime. I set the heat at 75 at lunchtime. It's less tacky than it was this morning. I think I'll try the lamps and box method -- thanks...

: What has the temp been? If it's been cool, that's probably your answer. Since
: you already had a coat on the paddles that will seal the wood, you could
: build yourself a small curing oven out of cardboard or plastic sheet and a
: space heater or worklights. Get the temp up to 100 degrees or so and they
: should cure in a matter of a few hours. If they don't that's a good
: indication that you indeed mixed a bad batch of epoxy.
