I went out tonight and pulled the peel ply up, and some of the edges of the resin pulled up with the peel ply, and pulled the 410 filler that was underneath up with it. I ran a thin screw driver under it to see if it would hold and a large portion of the fiberglass pulled right off with it. So I'm going to pull up, sand down and start again.
What did I mess up in the prep of the metal/emp tips? I sanded them, blew off all the dust with compressed air, wiped them down with water and clean towels, then after the dried I gave them a good wipe down with alcohol. There were differing directions on whether to use alcohol or acetone, I went with alcohol since it didn't seem logical that the resin would adhere since acetone is used to thin the mix.
I've never worked with fiberglass, so I'm learning as I read and go.
