Gelcoat problem

Oops, I gelcoated my console last weekend and it is still sticky to the touch, I must have used to little wax in the mix. Any ideas on what I can do to get rid of this please.

The horse might have already bolted, but i might be worth a try. Get a gallon of pva from a laminators and spray this on the console until it completely covers it, dripping off. This seals the gel in. Once you think the gel has fully cured, wash the pva off with a scrubbing brush (or you might be able to peel it off in sheets) and keep yer fingers crossed.
