John, didn't have any buckets go off on me. once i got a rhythm going pouring out 3 buckets of 2 litres at a go and then mixing them one at a time i found it quite easy. did have a scare with the flowcoat gelling off as i was using it. thought it best to dump that mix and add a bit less catalist to the next batch.
i must say i did enjoy it but wouldnt say it was fun
