A few additional wipe downs with thinner helped. The worst areas that were sticky are where there is/was carbon veil. I actually used the soft clear dope and paper towels to remove most of the carbon. The next coat of clear still did not dry fast, and I was seriously thinking of ending the project. I was trying to think about what parts might be salvagable, perhaps the main spar. But, the next morning the clear was dry . Now it is a matter of many hours to get it all back to a state where I can recover the airplane.
I am sure that many of you have guessed that it is the Sea Vixen. It seems like this project has become a nightmare, but hopefully the worst is behind me.
I am working on the Vixen and also an OTS airplane in honor of John Miske. The OTS airplane has required more time than most OTS projects, but it is coming along well.
BTW, the OTS airplane is being finished the old fashion way: Clear dope, Talc filler, dope colors, and clear dope topcoat.
