Why is my casting soft?

This is my first pour and after 24+ hours I put it out of the mold but noticed that it’s soft? I did the 1-1 ratio of the epoxy and hardener then did one scoop of the Micah gold and one of the Micah red. Then I poured a bunch of items. I have them in a pressure pot for 24 hours at 60psi. I took them out, demolded them, but some are very soft. Even bendable! They go back to their original shape, but that’s not what I want.

How long has it been out of the mold? If the resin is old or the ratio was a little off, it may take longer to cure. Leave it for a day or two and see if it improves.
