Start sanding  Grin

Get lots of sand paper cause it will clog it up pretty quickly if it is still tacky.

would a putty knife and hammer work pretty good? or since it's still tacky-ish, should it be able to be scraped off?

Yes you might be able to scrape it off but you have to be carefull to not damage the underneath surface ....
I've not had this trouble before but someone else stated that the wet parts can be removed with solvent then rough up the "dry"area and reapply

ok. update for those that care. lol.

got the old (still wet) FB off and layed down a completely new mixture. LOTS more hardener.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bondo (tm) brand FiberGlass Resin [with Harderner] part # 402
Shiano's Mixture
1/2 [1 LB, 1.5 oz.] Resin [496.5g]
1/2 [.185 oz.] Hardener [5.5mL]
1/2 Package of the Loose Mat [not the finely woven mat]
yields one layer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for Phase II.........

What DOESN'T stick to fiberglass if placed on top of it?

Remember when you were in elementary school and you got to play with clay and play-doh? Remember flattening it out and "stamping" things [shapes] into it? Same principal basically.
I'm going to need something that i can wrap around a stamp of sorts so that when press into the pre-hardened fiberglass before it sets, it will set with that  shape creating a recess.

Make sense?

Teflon  Grin

But seriously, I would use wax paper or saran wrap.   We used painters masking plastic when we were trying to make hoods and it worked well.  It stuck but we could peel it off easily.

I will talk to SB and try to get some better info for you.

u can use a heavy plastic and lay over the panel and then apply stamp. leave the plastic on (it will help avoid air pockets) pull off after it dries...then sand and bondo.

or you could use pb blaster/w-d 40 or similar pen fluid as a release agent just be sure to wash off really well with solvent before doing any more work...
