Just used your fishing pole repair kit and got to say it worked great. Instead of polishing I finished my repair with a thin coat of resin but must have under estimated the hardener as after 24 hours it is still tacky. What can I do to resolve this?

Yes that should be fine. Acetone will break down uncured and partially cured resin so it should help you recover the part.
