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?

Blimey, mine wasn't that bad.  It cured but had a sticky surface and a strange rubbery layer that you could just about scrape off with your nail.  The main bulk was cured as normal.  I used to think resin composition was fairly straight forward!
