I am confused? Did T-Cut's link not work for you? Or will they not post to you? The ETech site will post to you. You are on the UK mainland are you not? (unlike me, I struggle sometimes to get items such as these).

Yes ordered from his link, problem was i couldn't find any in stock when searching earlier , i did find it on the e-tech site but they wanted the same again for postage so as i was in no rush i decided i wasn't paying that much.

Hi Robert.
One way only I am afraid that is to let it dry and sand down again with fine wet & dry or do the process again, I know because I caught one of mine and had to do it again, never used the coating that is above but it seems you can get two tins for £13.99.

Oh come on i looked at that and it was showing sold out a couple of days ago , oh well i have the headlight bracket to fix and they are replacements, thought isopropyl alcohol would have done, so off to order more sanding discs.
Thanks

If you want to try dissolving off the coating using a solvent, then as an organic chemist I'd suggest using cellulose paint thinner rather than an alcohol like IPA. However, the sooner this is done the better. Once the coating starts to cure, it will become ever more difficult and going back to square one more likely.
