Non Blush question

In Response To: Re: Epoxy: raka epoxy (Chip Sandresky)

I'm using the 127/350 combo on my Guillemot S&G/strip deck combo and love the results so far. It seems to take a little longer to cure but, that actualy comes in handy for a first timer :)
My question is, if it doesn't blush, does that mean I don't have to sand in between coats? I'm sanding now to be safe but, do I REALY have to even if it's cured for a few days?
The other question is for epoxy in general. If it's mixed right and is too cold to cure (50 degrees or so) will it eventualy cure or is it possible to keep it cold enough long enough that it will stay rubbery even after the temperature warms up? I'd hate to have to scrape off rubbery fiberglass because of a week long cold spell in the garage.
Thanks much!

: 127 Resin with 350 Non Blushing Hardener is pretty standard. Although it
: looks like Larry has added some products since I bought mine.
