If it gelled right away you used way to much hardener. You will be waiting a while for just that resin to dry because it won't harden without the MEKP. I can't see a thing in those pictures.

Start over, no hardener means it won't harden.

Start over... The guy that taught me most of my fg art, was an installer for 310 motoring. He taught me the correct way of counting how many drops of hardner per resin. Then he taught me the "other" way. Just squeese a good stream of hardner into your resin and mix till you see a change in the tint.
With hardner added the resin the mixture turns a darker tint. And that means it's ready to dump on to your fg. The color that I see in the pic looks fine to me just that the layer of unhardened resin may be almost transperent. I wouldn't worry about bubbles unless they are bigger than an 1/2" in diameter.
My advice is not to worry about it hardening too fast. As long as it doesn't harden instantly. Add your hardner watch it thicken a little and just cake it on to the fg.
Then post up your pics :)

i've seen people put hardner on afterwords, it's NOT what you want to do, but it works in a bind,, (it saved a dash for a guy that he didn't have the parts to redo) so try that, it may work it may not, no promises on how strong it would be tho, just dabb it on with a paint brush
