Default In the middle of fiberglassing for the first time. Following a few tutorials but need alittle help

I am following a few tutorials from here and a4mods.com on how to fiberglass the side of the trunk where the jack is. I am going for the stealth subwoofer look.

I masked off the area and have applied two layers of cloth so far but it has been almost a day and the stuff still hasnt hardened. I added about 12 drops of hardner so it would take alittle longer. That way i had more time to work on laying the glass.

My question for you guys is do i have to leave my trunk open for the box to dry. Currently it is closed but my guess is the humidity will affect how long it will take for the glass to dry. I am going outside now to hit it with a blow dryer. I hope that helps.

Anyways any suggestions on why it is taking so long to dry would be helpful.

Default if it hasn't dried in a day, pull it out and start over.

Re-read your directions for mixing ratio - you did something wrong. It should not take nearly that long.

well, if you did all the masking and prep work, you should be able to pull the glass and go over it.
