How do I fix yellowed and sticky epoxy on kitchen countertops?
On part of our kitchen countertops the epoxy has turned yellow and is sticky we didn’t mix the last pour well enough. How can we fix? The base color is white and I think sanding will leave discoloration from the sand paper. Thanks in advance for any help

The only way to fix epoxy that hasn't cured is to add a new layer on top of the sticky spots or remove the sticky layer and add a new layer... Sanding epoxy that's not cured will make more of a mess as it will stick to the sandpaper.

Hello. What a disappointing situation. I would suggest to call the epoxy manufacturer for their recommendations. Many times suppliers know their product best and can offer a solution. In the case of latex paint.....sometimes they provide replacement product.
