Did the adhesive placed on your prosthetic stay a liquid or did it firm up (cure)?

FUN FACT

When a two part adhesive firms up, the process is called curing.
Did the leftover adhesive that you mixed in the bag stay a liquid or firm up?
HELPFUL HINT
Be sure to mix the adhesive enough but not so much that it begins to cure before you are done properly positioning your prosthetic :)
HELPFUL HINT
When refilling syringes:

- Place the caps on the tips

- Be sure that you are putting Part A in Syringe A etc...

- Remove the plunger and fill them to the 10ml mark from the back.

- Once they are full replace the plunger and set tip end up until air is at the top

- Remove caps and push out air.

- Make sure that both syringes have the same amount of adhesive in them
It sounds like you may be experiencing one of the following issues. Don't worry... practice makes perfect :)
- Air may be trapped between your self adhesive sheet and your prosthetic.

- Your adhesive may have cured before you could get good contact with the sheet.

- Perhaps the prosthetic wasn't pressed down throughout the curing process.
