Ok, here's my dumb butt did. I wanted to fiberglass the inside of a sub enclosure, but due to being low on hardener, the mixture did not have the right ratios, but I did it anyways. Of course, the resin did not set up properly. Question is, I'm fixing to go get a new kit, would it be ok just to mix it a little higher and brush it on what is already there, or should I try to clean off the other and start over. Thanks a bunch. Oh yeah, this was my first expierence with fg, so go easy on me.

I would try to clean off the old and start over if possible... Adding another layer that is hotter will not fix what is already bad. On top of that, it may distort even more than a proper mix. I hope is ok for the repair. Ganbatte ne! ------------- Never send your ducks to eagle school.

Yeah, I scraped off all the original wet stuff I could, mixed up some new, applied it, and all is good now. Should make for one tough enclosure.
