jquest, throw the stuff with MEK in it away. Its not worth screwing up a good batch with something that is already fu*ked up... MEKP is what you want, not MEk.. two different animals.....

Jquest..that really depends on how much you reduced your gel man..might not be bad .

Did you brush or spray it the first time ?

YD.

Re: Amount of M.E.K needed for epoxy paint?

yeah...since I've done fiberglass touch ups and repair on my boat before....I know how to mix gel coat with Mekp and wax. I used that as my basis for my allowed time. I knew that I didn't have to mix that much. Just enough to fire it off. I just used the wrong stuff.:% Now I'm just gonna do a really small part baised on a chart I got of the net a while back and see how that works. Then I can expand according to how much more I use. I'm in S. Fla so It's really warm down here already. I really don't have to go that crazy to make that thing go.
When I'm finally done...I'll take a couple of pics just to show of the inside.8)
