: i was planning on fiber glassing the hull but i painted it
: first. i learned later this was wrong . so i decided to just go
: ahead put a coat of resin over it. two weeks later its still
: tacky will it ever dry or is it doomed. im sure the best way to
: fix it would be to strip it down to bare wood and then glass it.
: but the paint job is so beautiful. it looks like an old pirate
: ship. ive learned alot about what not to do since i started this
: project and if anyone could give me some advice about fixing my
: mistakes i would really appreciate it.
