While repairing my transmission tunnel cover, I mixed up a batch of fiberglass resin and applied it to the cover and it never cured. The resin was left over from the repairs to my gas tank which worked fine two years ago but apparently something important has evaporated out of the resin or the hardener since then. I am left with a thin layer of uncured resin that is painted onto the tunnel in various locations.
It has been over 24 hours so I know it will never cure as is.
I have peeled off the fiberglass cloth patches and threw them away already....
... Do I have to completely clean off the remaining uncured resin from the cover with acetone or MEK before applying a new coat of fiberglass ( from newly purchased ingredients ) ? or
will the heat from a good batch applied over the remaining uncured resin, cure the remaining uncured resin ?
I don't have very much experience with fiberglass, ( that is obvious by now ), and could use some advice from the voice of experience.
Thanks,
Ed
