Hi there

Ive used liquid dpm on a concrete sub floor but for some reason it isn’t drying quick enough. Some parts of it are completely dry but other parts of it are still very tacky.
I mixed the liquid dpm and it’s separate resin really well together, albeit without an electric mixer, but I can’t work out why some of has dried and other parts just haven’t. It’s been about 5 days on.

Does anyone have experience in using liquid dpm? If I leave it for a week or two, will it eventually dry? What can I do to speed the drying process along, aside from a fan and leaving the door open?

Are there any other liquids that I could use to help harden the tacky bits?

Thanks

Are the white areas missing dpm?
These are areas that appear to have dried
It’s a strange one, because parts of it that have dried fully are wet to look at, but then other areas are still very wet and look exactly the same
 
Might be worth speaking with the manufacturer, as it's a premium product, they should have a good techincal team to speak with.

I spoke to them and they’ve suggested using another liquid, something called primer…they say it can be used as a curing agent but I’m reluctant to add another liquid to something which isn’t fully dried yet…plus it’s expensive!
Just wondered if anyone knew what a curing agent is and if anyone has had experience in liquid dpms or primers
