Hi, I've been putting a skim coat on my 76 monte (which I have learned is a pain in the...). I guess I didn't put in enough hardner on one coat, it hasn't hardened and I've given it a week. Any way to fix this situation...what happens if I go over that coat with another one full of hardner? Thanks, Adam

After you get it back down to metal, I suggest using polyester primer instead of skim coat. It's basically sprayable filler and goes on real easy. I recommend Evercoat Slick Sand or Featherfill G2.
I am assuming you are after a high-build sandable surface in order to flatten some flawed panels and polyester primer is perfect for this.
If it hasn't hardened yet, six months from now, it still will not have hardened. The only way to fix it is to scrape it all off. Any left on there will be a problem later.
