Erma;
I still think it is a problem with the catalyst and the
initiator. I had this problem when I first started pouring gels. Few
things that ou might want to check is that:
1. Make sure your solution is well degassed before addition of APS & TEMED.
2. Make sure that APS and TEMED are mixed in well (Swirl the flask well).
3. If that does not work - increase the amt of APS used.
Good Luck and CHeers!
