Well, fiberglassing in my trunk and i didnt put enough hardener. So its been like 3 hours now and its still soft, what to do. I would add a lamp but the bulb is broken //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif so im thinking mayeb going over it with the blowdryer for a good 15 minutes might speed up the process. Any ideas?

try the hair dryer and if that doesnt help after i while, take some straight hardener and paint it on

Try putting it in the oven...

it will eventually harden, as long as there is hardener in it. Heat will always speed up the process. It will just take some time. Dont put straight hardener on it if it already gelled. That will do nothing and give you more of a headache.

Ill wake up early(like 9am //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif ) and open the trunk.

Its a mold for wheel well , i cant take it out becuase its wet still.

Good to hear, i thought i put enough in it becuase it started to gel up in the container i was using. I wouldnt be so //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif if i didint have errands to run tomorrow(noon i have to pick a cousin up) and then go to work around 5pm. And i cant have the mold be moved or else it wont come out well.

the glass in the wheel well is what im workign on, i had a change of plans so thats why im having to do it this way. I hope 3 hours in the sun will harden this beast, the blowdryer pooped out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

***update***

this the morning i checked on the fg, it was kinda hardened in some areas but i still couldnt take it out, it was mostly still wet. But since is 9am, the sky was clear and it the sun was beaming. So i opened up the trunk and let the fg soak up the sun, about 2 hours later it was solid enough to be taken out. Its solid but not yet rock hard, but i have it directly in the sun right now. All is well, Thanks.
