What happens here

Open the containers for the Citadel PLE-100 FC epoxy, which is a performance leveling epoxy with a fast cure (FC) characteristic. Combine the resin and hardener components according to the manufacturer's specified ratio, typically by pouring one into the other. Mix thoroughly with a drill mixer for 2-3 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom to ensure full integration. *Crucially*, this product has a very fast cure time, with a pot life of approximately 15 minutes. Once mixed, it will start to thicken and potentially smoke quickly if not applied immediately. Due to its rapid hardening, it is imperative to work quickly and in small batches, especially if you lack extensive experience with fast-cure epoxies. Applying within the pot life ensures proper leveling and adhesion.

Goal: Prepare the PLE-100 FC (Fast Cure) epoxy coat by mixing its two components, then immediately apply it, being highly aware of its extremely short pot life and rapid curing properties.
