    I don't think it will ever harden, if it's the wrong mixture. 
    You'll have to soak it out with Attack and start over.  How are you
    mixing it? 

    Don't use those syringe dispensers, you can't get equal amounts with
    that.  Mix with one toothpick, throw it all, and apply the epoxy
    with a fresh toothpick. 

    Maybe one of the other systems would work better for you -- Colores,
    where you actually measure the parts, or a light curing system like
    Durenamels (have I got that name right?)  Gesswein sells it.
