Made a big boo boo.

In a hurry to get decks glassed, I took a short cut and didn't weigh the hardener and resin. I took a guess and got it wrong. It never went off, and now I have had to rip it all off.
Talk about 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

Now I have a gooey mess on the decks to clean up and start again.

Probabaly set my self back 2 weeks. Doh !

I'm guessing SP

edit. Just to clarify this is not a comment on the resin, just Tony's stated preferance for other products. I only use and recommend SP (Gurit) composite materials.

How did you clean it up. Ripped the glass off and?? How can you know you have got all the uncured resin/hardener away from the wood/bonding area?

Just trying to learn a bit from your mishap. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If it's still soft then it's easy, just pull the glass out and use good paint scraper (?) with rounded corners to avoid scratches and sand slightly before doing it properly again. Using too much hardener on the other hand may take lot more effort and it's not even easy to spot, so if mix ratio is not perfect it's better take it too soft <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
