I am currently at the polishing stage. I just finished with the 3m super duty rubbing compound. The boat was very heavy oxidized and the compound work great! Now I am at the next stage using the Finesse-it II, applying it with my Makita polisher with a synthetic pad. Now my question is... I seam to be having a hard time using the glaze; I apply a very little amount to the surface and start polishing. After a few passes the glaze turns very gummy and clogs the pad. When I try to polish further, I cannot get it to dry out. The glaze stays gummy.
At this point I stop and attempt to wipe off the excess material, which really wants to stay on the boat by the way, Should I be waiting for the glaze to dry on its own or should I keep polishing it mechanically? Need some basic instructions here please. Thanks in advance.
PS the temp outside is mid fifties, direct sun and a little wind. I was looking for application temps but could not find suggest temps.
