Sounds like tiny air bubbles or sanding dirt from the first layer of resin/carbon. Air bubbles can be got out using a heat gun wafted over the area.

Yeah I'm using both of them buddy,  took 8 hours to go tacky :s

Another issue I'm having is the resin seems to have lots of tiny white dots all through it,  the carbon looks like crap because of it and iv apply 2 coats of resin Sad

It depends on the temperature you are operating in.  If it was our AT30 Fast with EL2 then I would expected it to have got quite far into the gelling stage after 3 hours.

The only faster resin is our Epoxy Rapid Repair Resin which would normally at 20C be hard within 2 hours  so I would have thought should be firm but tacky within an hour. Although as it's so fast regular checking is needed!
