your almost there. You know how many drops of hardner it took to setup too quickly and how many drops of hardner you used and it won't set. Now use drops of hardner somewhere in the middle bt. those two. Also, keep in mind outside temp will affect hardening time. In colder Winter mos. you may need to add a couple drops and in the summer heat you will need to use a couple of drops less. Read the instruction on the can, I believe those are at optimum temps, ie. propably 68 or 72 degrees air temp.

Good luck, it's just a matter of trial and error til you get it right. Ask me how I know.
