Hello all,

I have used the wax gelcoat additive (https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/solution-mw-wax-gelcoat-additive) in the top layer of a polyester-covered table. It looked fine when I mixed and poured it, but now that it has cured it has a weird, patchy, greasy-looking surface. It's still transparent but less clear and the shine has gone off it. It feels alright to the touch, though, and definitely isn't tacky.

What have I done wrong here? I used about 2% wax additive but may not have measured it that accurately... I plan to sand off the top layer and redo it but I'm keen to avoid the same problem happening again. I want a smooth, high-gloss finish on the final pour.

Thank you in advance.
