Wetted out the fiberglass on the CY skeg at 9 this morning and put the work light on under the area to speed curing, and at 5 pm it was still wet. Strangely too, the mix in the cup was still liquid and cool, not its usual rock solid hockey puck, and the brush was nice and flexible...
I figure I must have distractedly mixed 2 parts "A" with 1 part "A", and totally chagrined, have stripped off the fiberglass (it looked so good).
Now I get a re-do. The hull strake has its several coats of hardened epoxy, so that's going to be fine with wiping off the resin. But the skeg was unfinished and now the surface is permeated with part "A". There too I'll wipe as much off as I can with denatured alcohol.
Is there any thing else I should do before putting down the new fiberglass and wetting it out? Sand?
Will the fiberglass adhere satisfactorily is my biggest concern. Not a major structural concern really, but a finish one. I want to paint the bottom and don't want the skeg to blister and peel three months from now.
Thanks for advice.
