I was worried about the resin soaking into the masking tape and being a pain to get off. And I had saw someone else do that. And I'm sure the acetone is your problem I used same resin and parts came out fine and fully cured in less than a day, were hard enough to remove in hour or so, maybe less I didn't try earlier. Just my 2 cents worth, I am by no means a fiberglass expert but I did get useable parts with minimal effort.
Yeah my battery tray came out fine, a few air bubbles but otherwise will be perfect with a bit of sanding, bondo and paint. Although I did buy aluminum tape I didn't end up using it -- carnauba car wax worked extremely well and I already had some on hand. .

Interesting. Forgive my ignorance as I don't know much about this stuff but would I just add a couple of packing peanuts to the mix?
