Update: That batch was messed up. I guess full 10ml vial of tint vs 8 drops made the difference. The first batch never did set up, but it was BLACK.

I was able to push the sleeve out with my thumbs, which was definitely not something I was going to use under my rear axle.
Poured a second attempt today and it set up within an hour as expected. I guess I'm getting better with practice.

Should be able to strip the rings off in a bit and will post a pic of the finished product.
