I make a few parts in cheapo GRP.  I have no shame!!  I've made some parts recently and I've found the open surface has remained tacky although the laminate has cured.  I catalysed at 3% as normal but the resin I use (East coast) used to be blue and is now brown.  Could it be the resin blend or have I started doing something wrong?

Any ideas on if I can salvage the parts with a solvent wipe or something similar?

Yeh had a similar issue recently, the manufacturer messed up the addition of promoter. I could get it to cure if I catalysed at 25% and got it to 70 degrees for 4 hours...
