    The only times that I have had that kind of problem with epoxy is either very old epoxy, too much liquid tint, or wrong mixing ratio. I usually use powdered colors to tint epoxy.

    Thank you Andrew. Now that I know the Archive has this site, I will try to copy it from there myself. I don't know if my email service (Yahoo) has a limit that would block the file size.
