Strip: Not enough catalyst

I had great plans for this weekend to start fiberglass work. I was making some patch material for the small defects. Instead of using the resin planned for the fiberglass I purchased some clearlite resin from Tap plastics. Unfortunately, I used half the required catalyst and the patches are more gooey than hard and ready to sand. I tried to remove my mess last night and repatch, but most of the areas are still too soft to sand. I'll start scraping this stuff off, though, I'm concerned I'm going to have stains left over if I really remove everything. Any suggestions?
