so i think i mixed my resin wrong, im making a small teardrop

You probably didn't mix it well enough or got the ratio wrong.

If you're lucky it will cure very slowly.

If you're unlucky, it won't cure at all.

should i cut it off from oxygen? some tutorials say i should but its not in the directions

You can apply a little extra heat. Epoxy is one of those things that cure with heat. Just leave it in in a container on the dash of your car out in the sun. (or wrap in foil. Uv will fuck epoxy unless its got blockers)

Smaller things cure slower. Resins cure through a thermogenic reaction, and the smaller bits generate less heat.

You could throw it in the oven at the lowest temperature and it'll probably cure pretty quickly.
Or just wait till it figures itself out. If you live in a humid environment, that could fuck up the curing process as well.

This sounds stupid, but hear me out. Test out putting a little less hardener in the mix and stir very very thoroughly. I used the same shit and had a lot of issues until I did this. However I'm 2 years out and my shit looks terrible because it yellowed fast

How big (small) was the batch of resin you mixed? Smaller mixes give less wiggle room in the accuracy of the mix ratio, i.e. a hair over the line on a 1/2oz pour is a much bigger variation than a few hairs over on a 10oz pour.

If it was your usual batch size, you may have contaminated your mix and fucked the cure. Anyway, if it hasn't cured by now, it's surely fucked.
