    Accidentally (or moreso ignorantly) mixed epoxy with polyester resin on Friday. Polyester hasn't cured. Will it prevent the epoxy from curing as well? Ie do I have to tear apart what I did and redo or can I just scrape the polyester out of there? Its for a fuel tank hatch, 42x50, and the polyester was used on the part to be under the console.

    Oops

    New materials ordered... Glad I made this mistake at 25 when I still have the motivation to fix it...

    Thanks,
    Dave
