I just got done mixing a quart of Boat Yard Resin with Evercoat hardner.

I mixed it pretty damn thouroughly... but after about 5 minutes or so I started to get little chunks floating around in the resin that had the consistency of gummy bears and then gradually changed to the consistency of curred silicone.

Now will all of the resin that I spread cure or will it just stay soft/wet or whatever?

Did I mix the hardener and the resin well enough? How do you all mix the hardener with the resin?

What should I do?

Sounds like you could have mixed it a little bit more. Some of the resin gelled. Not a real big deal just more sanding in spots.
