While trying to finish a new build last weekend, I somehow managed to get the epoxy mixed wrong. Too many distractions at the time. I wiped the epoxy off the threads - which was pretty easy since it wouldn't harden. My question is this. There is obviously residue still on the threads from the incorrectly mixed expoxy. Can I apply correctly mixed epoxy over the threads even though it has the residue and will it adhere and cure properly, or do I need to remove the guides and thread and retie? I'm concerned about fish eye in the finish as well as the threads/guides failing over time. Thanks in advance for your input.
