Howdy,
Yesterday I’ve hotcoated a 9,4 longboard but apparently I didn’t got the mixing ratio right and now my hotcoat is all sticky.
I’ve already tried wiping it with a rag and some acetone but there is no way I can wipe, it’s just too sticky.
Is there a way to safe the poor thing?
maybe did not add surfacing agent to your lam resin???
No way round it ! You will have to hotcoat again to enable you to sand it ! If you used sanding agent it might be that it’s gone past it’s shelf life or that you didn’t use enough. I saw a post recently about using waxed paper to cure it but I haven’t tried it myself - it’s worth a shot !

Howzit mook, If it’s sticky like the wax didn’t rise or not enough SA you might be able to just do another hot coat over it. Just make sure you put in enough SA and Catalyst.Aloha,Kokua
I haven’t done this, but one of our glassers said he just gloss’s the uncured hotcoat, then sees what needs to be done. He hinted he might even have gone to rub and polish from there…
But obviously, if you tried to wipe it off, you gotta add another coat of resin to the sticky mess, then sand really smooth…
Use a thinned down hotcoat with about 15% styrene (premixed hotcoat resin) and recoat and sand. The worse part will probably be sanding off where you tried to wipe it with acetone.
Cheers people, gonna give it another hotcoat today and see what it does.
