I know all too well about that, had to scrape off uncooked resin as well
Kracker, start making some small repairs, check temp and humidity, make accurate measurements of the hardener to glass. don't use the that looks about right method that my self and Ridge probably use. Check the time it takes for the resin to kick. Don't forget that you can cut off excess glass while "green" with a knife or scissors before it kicks completely. Once you get a handle on the time frame it takes, start making bigger batches. Keeping the batch together in a cup or bucket makes it kick faster, spreading it out over a surface slows it down, heat will get it to kick when its slow(hairdryer). Putting the mixed batch in the fridge will slow it down(makes your food taste funny to). Acetone will require more MEKP(hardener), don't go over 10% with the acetone. Wear gloves and long sleeve shirts, its better than picking resin out of your arm hairs later, and acetone makes your skin itch
