hmm it did, but what i dont understand is why its watery after the mix goes off. maybe its mixing with the morning dew

Its called blushing and it has to do with moisture in the air and the chemicals in the epoxy- and since you appear to be outside, it could be darker because of pollen.

It is called "blushing".
It is usually the cheaper epoxies that blush. When some epoxies harden, a byproduct of the curing reaction rises to the surface appearing as a greasy, waxy layer. It's due to moisture in the air during cure.
Sand it off before any kind of painting, etc, or it will not stick.
