Ok,this is my second gloss coat using reichold gloss resin. First board I did came out great. Temps were a bit warmer, around 50 outside my heated shed. I catylized at 1% which I was told was not enough. Took about 24 hours but did harden very nicely. My second and current board I catylized at 3 %. Temps outside were about 20 deg but temps in the shed were about 60-65 deg. Stayed that way until resin kicked. I turned the heater off and it naturally cooled down very slowly over the course of the day. I went to sand a couple days later starting with 320 and resin was gummy. I didn’t want to continue to further mess it up. Will uv light or warmer temps fully cure resin , or is it a lost cause??? Was tacky after hand sanding rails as well. Also, what is the correct catylizing percent for glossing.
Do you know how to search.
Let it sit a week in the sun, temp not so important, but warm is better. Bring it inside at night.
If after one week it's still tacky, regloss.
Thanks leeD! I’ll give it a shot
if the temp is not above 70 deg. F you will have dificulties,,,, period!
The folks have been helping me with a similar issue, look for a ‘how to fix trouble with gloss coat’ thread.
I’ll check it out… Thanks!! Might try a bigger heater as well to get the shed to temp. Thought I could get away a few degrees shy.
