mixing polyester resin

Hey guys, I'm a first time board maker and have recently finished shaping a 9'1" nose rider and was really happy with the result :) My attempt at glassing was not so good! I mixed the polyester resin and MEKP hardener @ 1% which I thought would give me plenty of time to glass the bottom of the board. It went off like a rocket and only gave me about a minute before it was all over! Unfortunately I now have 2 areas on the board with blue tinted resin where I placed my logos...that as far as it got. Now have to try and repair the board for another go at it...not happy ) : My supplier has given me a slower catalyst to try, hoping this works. I watch these guys glassing boards on Youtube with up to 10 mins working time, am I doing something wrong? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Cheers...Brenden
