Accident with Finish mixing

I accidentally grabbed my TM hardener and my ProKote Resin, mixed and applied it. It came out just fine. I was happily surprised. So, just for your information, if you mix TM hardener and regular Prokote resin it will work. It actually dried fast also.

Of course now I have less TM hardener than resin and less ProKote resin than hardener. Maybe I'll try it the other way around and see if I can even it out again. My luck it won't work and I'll have to rip it all off.
One thing I did learn by this besides to be more careful, is that ProKote regular will harden faster if you use it with TM hardener. It was dry enough to turn the dryer off at 4 hours. That's fast for my location. It usually takes twice that when I use regular Prokote.

It's easy to test the other way around, Dave, without investing a whole build in the experiment.
