Sticky spots after glassing?

I have been waiting for the underside of my kaholo deck to dry for almost two weeks. It is all dry except for two small patches, probably about 2-3 inches in diameter that are still sticky. I assume that I must have mixed one of the batches of epoxy incorrectly. What do I do?  Thanks in advance.

RE: Sticky spots after glassing?

I had a similar problem on my shearwater when I neglected to mix a batch of epoxy sufficiently. The only solution is to scrape off the uncured epoxy and redo it. After you've scraped as much as you can, wipe off the remainder with alcohol or vinegar, which will disolve the uncured resin but not affect the cured part. This will not affect the strength or the final finish of your boat. When you mix epoxy it's important to do it long enough and to get into the corners of the mixing cup. Good luck - Wes

Thanks Wes

That worked perfectly, and it was super easy
