Too much activator with OHW

Today I tried to dip my synthetic pellet gun stock for practice. I over activated it a bit and got a few voids because of it. Plus, the seam came out crooked when I rolled it. The stock has the little raised dimple things all over it for grip. What's the best way to get it ready to dip it again? Clean with some sort of solvent? Sand/scuff it? My main concern is in and around the dimpled areas.
Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.

GPi gun set up by @K2Concepts with the 1.4 tip. Liquid Concepts activator. Confederate camo. 88 degree water temp. 60 second soak. @onehitwonder Any ideas here?
Sorry I'd I sound bitchy, but a most of a whole day trying to convince my boss that this paint is well received by lots of folks here while not showing a good dip takes a toll on me. I've read JJ on here saying one medium to fast pass of activator is all OHW needs. One pass I would rate as a 5 in speed activates the hell out of it and the next pass I feel speeds up to a 6 leaves the film almost solid. Is it really that picky about the amount of activator you use or am I just that bad at judging my speed? I go a lot faster than my passes for unpainted parts.
It just seems excessive that one pass is too much and what seems like maybe 10 percent faster leaves the film nearly solid on the water. Is it like this for others or is it just me? I can't wait for the super brew to come in and try it.
I used OHW silver on a few films on speed shapes and they all were perfect. The biscuit and white are all over activated while still looking sandy and dry. A slightly faster pass leaves it VERY under activated. Here's some I did with the silver.
Everything using biscuit or white turns out like the pics of the stock above.
@onehitwonder This was shooting with a "zero, one, two" count. 18" away from the surface. The main pattern is a good 18" across. The dark spot on the first pic was already on the box.
