Ya, thanks Paul. I played around with it again this morning. I had warmed the epoxy yesterday before mixing and then I was just applying it from the warm cup I mixed it in and I think that caused it to try and set up too fast.
This morning I mixed it cold and once mixed poured it out on a big coffee lid covered with foil so it spreads out and that worked a lot better. I still had a few crystals form but nothing like yesterdat and the pot life was what it should be. Going to try it again on some the last of the pencils that I had painted last week.
I think cleaning them with alcohol between coats is good too. I dont always need to do 2 coats and i had forgotten to do that yesterday when I did the second coat.
