wow, it gets better. just went out to check the progress, and when shifting the board on the rack, the glass stuck to the rack and pulled away from the board. it would appear that even after 3 days i could just remove the fiberglass altogether by simply peeling it off the board. it is still that wet. i'm guessing that it shouldn't be.
Howzit eviltwin, Now that just down right sucks. Was the board sitting on the sticky side of the tape? After 3 days any resin or epoxy should have been cured if mixed right. But always keep the wet resin side up and not touching the racks. Get some of that square foam that they sell for putting around window AC"s to seal the gap It sticks to the reverse tape on the racks and will hold the board in place while glassing it but won't pull the paint off the unglassed side of the blank. Did you try pressing the glass back down onto the blank instead of taking the glass off. Then you could try doing another batch of catalyzed resin over the previous layer to kick it all off.

it is not too late to try that. thanks kokua, i'll give it a shot and let you know. any idea how i could have avoided the paint running? perhaps if i had clear coated?
