Epoxy issue? I think.

So i sealed and primed and painted a bunch of plugs the other day. And epoxied the following day. They all looked fine until closer inspection.

All the plugs were epoxied w etex, weighed out and mixed thoroughly.

But two of the needles have issues.

The tail of them is loose, like the epoxy on top is hard but the underneath is not set up. And you can move the epoxy around.

All the plugs were allowed to dry for at least three weeks in a warm room about 70 degrees.

Only two of them out of about 24 have this problem.

Should I just let them cure longer?

I flip my plugs when I do the etex. These were allowed to dry hanging tail down, so my thought is that te epoxy just pooled up and needs to cure??

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Chef
