Hey out there, I think I didnt use enough surfacing agent on my hot coat. Its tacky, Will it eventually get hard enough so that I can sand without gumming all my sand paper. Anybody got a solution to this problem.
No it wont sand, just mix up another batch with the correct amount of wax and HC right over the tacky. You can add extra wax solution to thin the resin so it wont add too much weight if its a short board you are working on.
If the resin is cured but does not have enough wax in it, you can apply liquid car wax to the board and buff it off to eliminate the tackiness. Sand as normal. If the resin is sticky because it is not cured, you will want to hit it with a thin hotcoat to set it off.
Hey Carl, Good question and great responses. I only wish that I asked this two weeks ago when I gummed up enough sandpaper to fill a small trashcan. haha… Herb Bean
