not too sure how much time im suppose to wait between applying tooling and coupling coat. i waited about 2 hours or until slightly firm and slightly sticky, then put the fiberglass and coupling coat. Then when everything was dried after a day or so, removed my emblem and there were imprints from the fiberglass on it. Did i not leave enough time between the coats?

Frankly, I'm amaze that you succeded in brushing Unimould Gelcoat that thinly .. Whistling ..  (If Unimould is what you have been using)

You need to start over .. no doubt about that ..  as Hanaldo points out you need a much thicker layer of gelcoat .. follow the Unimould tutorials closely ...
