    That mostly depends on how hot the resin was. If the glass is hard to the touch and you can't really bend an edge you are most likely good to go. Did you wax the mold? apply Gelcoat first? You do NOT want to remove it if it is soft at all. I have resins that will be hard in about 10 minutes and others that will take a day minimum.

    As long as Robert gets that 198 ready for production to start in March, he is our Hero.
