Hmmm, I've never worked with fiberglass resin, but I have used long-strand fiberglass filler. If it's anything like that, once it hardens it should be able to be "popped" off.

The worst thing you can do is try to remove it when it's wet, because as you discovered, you'll just spread it around. Once it's hard it will pop right off because the vinyl flexes, the resin doesn't.

If you've spread it too tin while trying to clean it up it will be thin enough to flex, so it may not pick off. If that's the case acetone will dissolve hardened resin, but BE CAREFUL - it might also dissolve the vinyl! Try it on a s piece of vinyl first!
