I make a few parts in cheapo GRP. I have no shame!! I've made some parts recently and I've found the open surface has remained tacky although the laminate has cured. I catalysed at 3% as normal but the resin I use (East coast) used to be blue and is now brown. Could it be the resin blend or have I started doing something wrong?
Any ideas on if I can salvage the parts with a solvent wipe or something similar?
