This batch done as a lump is still tacky after 4 hours. I did cut back on the amount of hardener to slow the curing so we will see how long it takes, or if it poisons me during the night.

I built a boat many years ago, plywood stitched together with copper wire glass fibre tape along the seams, then resined all over.

I’ve used GRP many times over the years, and MB you’re right in cold weather its sticky for days and the resin stinks.

My question is how did the project end ?.
