So after the non-hardening epoxy fiasco, i ordered some new metering pumps for the hardener.  then i carved out the un-hardened epoxy with a knife.  crap.  what a bummer.  then i mixed up some new epoxy with glass bubbles as thickener, and re-slathered it all over to smooth out the console.  then i sanded, and sanded and sanded and sanded and sdlsadlndendanadadndnfansanded.  yup.  til i had a blister.  then i stopped.  i’ll have to sand some more, but we’re getting there.  I finished today exactly where i started.   sweet.
