Default Need Some Serious Help...

I have had some fiberglass layup failures lately and I don't know what is going on.

Lets get the variables out of the way. Same resin, same epoxy nothing changed. Layup early after noon temps. around 65-70 no sun. Prime area with epoxy then lay up 4 oz. cloth wet it and make sure everything is squeegeed tight.

Next day go to check it, all dry looks good. Give the excess mat a tug and it comes off like it was wax paper.?????

The epoxy is still on the surface strong as ever and basically can not be chipped off. So the epoxy is not failing its something I am doing or its the cloth. The weird think is that I have used this cloth the day before and it is holding. A few weeks ago I used it and the failure happened.

I know it is most likely something I am doing but its got me stumped.

I am getting tired of doing the same spot over and over and now I am getting gun shy thinking oh oh I have laid up a lot of stuff....is it going to come apart.

HELP! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
