Hi all, I have done some carbon wet lay in the past with good success. Have decided to try the uni mould and have stumbled across a problem - the gel coat started curing during application and went lumpy before I realised and had brushed on an area. I didn't have time to smooth the rest out eithwr as it would have curdled too ! Is this done for or can I just apply second goat as normal once tacky ? In other words is this going to show through and effect the final mould ?

Probably best to peel it off and get it right then by the sounds of it.  It cured within about ten minutes, using 2 % mekp measured on accurate digital scales, did it indoors though and it was quite warm in the house so maybe why bit still.. that was fast ! Though I used a fairly small diameter mixing cup could this be the cause ? The remaining gel coat in the cup got very very hot and started to melt the cup slightly too !
