Help!! new transom and bulkhead got wet
 
Going crazy here! I finished up sealing my new transom and bulkhead with 1.5oz csm and vinyl ester and everything looked great. It was drying slow so I didn't get the second side done until late so I figured instead of screwing it up by trying to move it I'll just leave it alone. My problem now is the weather that was supposed to be clear with 0% chance of rain decided to change. Now my new pieces are rain wet and uncured. I got them covered now but there already wet. What do I do now? Are they salvageable? will the resin cure properly? Or do I have a $400 chunk of fire wood that I can't even burn. Please help I'm going crazy trying to figure out what to do.

It will be fine just make sure its dry before u get to glassing again.

yep, get some sun on it and cook it for a bit. I had two rolls of a very expensive S glass get soaked and it was fine. it was a stiff 22 inch wide 24 oz bi ax and I put It in big un rolled coils out in my parking lot in the sun.

Thanks guys that's a relief I thought all that time and money was gone. I did lay it all out in the sun and the resin cleared up and hardened but I did get a few small areas that have little air bubbles but no water under the mat so I guess I'm good.
