How should I store the unused tubes?

Troubleshooting
Epoxy not hardening or staying tacky
Ensure equal parts of resin and hardener were dispensed and mixed thoroughly. Check that the temperature is within the recommended range for curing.
Poor adhesion to surface
Verify that the surfaces were properly cleaned and free of dirt, grease, or moisture before application. Roughening the surface can also improve adhesion.
Difficulty dispensing equal amounts
Ensure the pistons in both tubes are aligned and apply steady, even pressure. Consider using a mixing stick to gauge amounts if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, or contaminants. Lightly roughening the surfaces can improve adhesion.
- Dispense equal amounts of resin and hardener from the two tubes onto a clean disposable surface.
- Mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes until a uniform grey color is achieved. Do not mix more than you can use within the working time (typically 5 minutes).
- Apply the mixed epoxy evenly to one or both surfaces.
- Press the surfaces together firmly and hold or clamp in place for the initial set time (usually 15-30 minutes).
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use on fiberglass, metal, aluminum, steel, ceramic, concrete, and rigid plastics.
- *Not* recommended for use on polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon, or other flexible plastics.
Care:
- Once cured, MarineWeld is permanent and can be sanded, drilled, and painted.
- Clean up uncured epoxy with a damp cloth. Cured epoxy is difficult to remove.
- Store tubes tightly capped in a cool, dry place.
