Hi guys i made tons of stuff in wrapping and first time in my life i layed on fiberglass piece carbon then cutted around and brushed to lay second layer- by polyster resin. all time very EVEthing was good but not after 2 days its still not dry???? wtf i thought as other parts ive done never beeen to that AND WHAT IS INTERESTING YOU BRUSH WITH PAPER THAT NOT FULLY CURED SURFACE WITH BLADE AND THEN CAN BRUSH WITH PAPER BUT MOST INTERESTING IF PART WONT STICK TO YOUR HANDS AND YOU THINK ITS GOOD AND PUTTING IN TEMPERATURE LIKE 25 ITS STARTING TO COVERT INTO SAME LIKE BEFORE 5 MINUTES LAYED SURFACE .

ANY CLUE GUYS? IF BAD HARDENER MIXING THE IN SOME PLLACES WONT CURE IF TO MUCH HARDENER BE THEN SIMPLY CRACK IF IF MISSING HARDENER THEN SIMPLY WONT DRY. BUT WHY THIS HAPPENED FIRST TIME? I THINK MAYBE THATS BECAUSE I WORKED IN COLD LIKE +9 PLACE AND MAYBE CARBON EATED CONDENSATE THATS WAY? AS NO OTHER IDEAS FOR MORE.

I CHANGED RESIN, I CHANGED HARDENER AND THE SAME.



YOU KNOW GUYS THATS NOT EPOXY THATS NEED TEMPERATURE IR POLYSTER THAT ALMOST NO MATTER AND EASY TO WORK WITH.

Sounds like what happens when you try to rub it back before it has fully cured. I had the same issue with epoxy once, I got a little bit excited and tried to rub it back after only 12 hours curing. The surface was hard to the touch, but when I started rubbing it back it was very porous underneath the surface, made a huge mess. Left it to cure for the full 24 hours and it was fine, I could sand the porosity that I had caused out of it and it didn't occur anywhere else. 

So I think your issue is definitely an incomplete cure, most likely caused by the low temperature. The resin in the pot will always cure before the resin on the part, because the exotherm happens much quicker in a larger bulk. The surface cost is thin in comparison, so the heat is distributed more evenly. I think that as suggest, if you put it in an oven at 50 degrees for a few hours then it will cure.
