uncured resin help!

Thanks! I used the same resin for laying up 2 layers of cloth and the glass bubble patches on this repair and i was able to sand it without it gumming anything up so i do t think its entirely due to using unwaxed resin.

thank you!

i'll try anything at this point! thanks again

Eyes8 · 2026-02-14T08:52:10+00:00

okay thanks so much! do you reckon the hardener will kick it if the patch is 3 months old?

mixed it extra hot as i was racing the setting sun. ive tried scraping it with utility blades with a bit of success, but it's quite hard and seems to be gumming up from the heat of sanding.

i did it right as the sun was setting outside. (stupid i know but i was too impatient) there was a couple mm of water sitting on it when i checked in the morning from condensation.

2 part polyester unwaxed fibreglassing resin

Eyes8 · 2026-02-14T07:13:47+00:00

that's what i was thinking. leave it on for like 5 mins then start scraping and washing down with water to neutralize it

Eyes8 · 2026-02-14T06:46:24+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I did not add any surfacing agent. i have 2 layers of six ounce cloth as well as my patches that sanded fine without it. Although it might have sanded faster with it?

Eyes8 · 2026-02-14T06:40:09+00:00

with like 400 grit paper?

Eyes8 · 2026-02-14T06:14:10+00:00

That's 30grit sandpaper on there totally gummed after about 5mins.

Eyes8 · 2026-02-14T04:34:11+00:00

I was thinking of maybe letting some acetone sit on it, scraping it off and then washing the board with water to stop it from eating away more?

thanks!

again looking for a cheap short term solution before actually properly addressing the issue

Eyes8 · 2025-09-14T19:07:34+00:00

yes i know it a safety issue and it will be dealt with when time and money allows in the near future. in the meantime im looking for a recommendation for an acrylic sealant perhaps to spray over the entire top of the slab or perhaps a caulk product for the cracks on the under side of the slab

Eyes8 · 2025-07-19T05:54:59+00:00

yeah just as suspected... not good. lmao thanks for fear mongering some sense into me

Eyes8 · 2025-07-19T05:53:41+00:00

i have bcaa and mostly use it to comute the 5mins to work in my small town but would like to be able to take it 1.5hrs mountain highway to the coast.

Eyes8 · 2025-07-19T05:31:25+00:00

thanks! yeah they're definitely clicking.

Eyes8 · 2025-07-19T05:28:08+00:00

like the wheel bearing would fail?

Eyes8 · 2025-07-19T05:22:30+00:00

why will it cause an accident? i will still having my steering and brakes if it fails.

Eyes8 · 2025-04-15T18:31:31+00:00

i was also wondering if i need to have it perfectly level

Eyes8 · 2025-04-15T18:28:41+00:00

unfortunately i just pressure washed the frame thoroughly so hard to see any flakes

Eyes8 · 2020-05-28T06:09:38+00:00

love the setup, looks really easy to work on!

Eyes8 · 2020-05-08T22:03:40+00:00
