I suspected cold viscous epoxy so I checked my basement temperature Friday. 66 degrees. I am building a hot box for storing epoxy at 72 degrees and I will tent and heat the boat well above room temperature. I also suspected air entrained due to mixing so I am being less vigorous. What kind of alcohol? Store bought 70 percent isoporpyl/30 percent water?
