Hi guys is there a faster curing epoxy resin I can you for the Base coat?  Along the lines of say an hour? 

It depends on the temperature you are operating in.  If it was our AT30 Fast with EL2 then I would expected it to have got quite far into the gelling stage after 3 hours.

The only faster resin is our Epoxy Rapid Repair Resin which would normally at 20C be hard within 2 hours  so I would have thought should be firm but tacky within an hour. Although as it's so fast regular checking is needed!

Yeah I'm using both of them buddy,  took 8 hours to go tacky :s

Sounds like tiny air bubbles or sanding dirt from the first layer of resin/carbon. Air bubbles can be got out using a heat gun wafted over the area.
