Sys3 Mirror Coat and E-tex

Just curious if anyoine feels there is a difference in the hardness of these products when they are cured.

I've been using E-Tex and measuring the components out via syringe (like I do for Flex Coat). I'm getting a tack-free cure, but I can still leave a mark with my thumb nail if I try hard enough -- is that common, or does this indicate a slight ratio problem?

Specifics
  • Measured with syringe.
  • mixed with plastic stick.
  • Mixed in the basement, it's air-conditioned and dry.
  • Spun for 3 hours at ~70 degrees in above conditions, then placed in an area heated from below (~90 degrees) for 12 hours.
Thanks for any input.

Eric
