Jay; Would it help to rub down the uncured areas (after going thru a warm-up cycle) with just hardener, to perhaps kickoff any unmixed epoxy, before a complete strip-off of all glass and epoxy. Just theoretical, no experience with the problem. Not sure how deep the hardener would penetrate and affect uncured epoxy, or what the ramifications of uncured epoxy deep below the surface would be... TNX, Scotty ( of course, any floated glass would have to go)
