    Well I took Weirdbits suggestion to task and it seems to have knocked the worst of it off. Luckily it was only about 80 - 90% cured, so it was still softer than the underlying coats.

    I did, unfortunately, put a few light scuffs/scratches on the surface, but it feels a million percent better under my fingers than it did this afternoon. Looks like I threw it in a tub of water with a cat though!

    Tomorrow I'm going to hit it with some 600 wet, then 1200 wet. Then two more THIN coats of intensifier. Hopefully start applying finish coats before say, August?

    How the heck do people finish their builds in two weeks?

    Dude, I've no idea. The EXA-1 build has been going nearly a year, the SV-1 since August and the LP kit has 2 weeks on it so far, which has been nothing but sanding and pondering.
