Hi, I am new to composite stuff.
I am trying to make a small carbon fiber part. But when I lay down my first layer of resin, it doesn't get tacky. I waited for more than 20 mins. I am using Silmar 249A polyester surfboard resin. Does this resin ever get tacky?
Thanks

I used 2:1 resin/hardener ratio by volumn.
