Hi Scott
I wouldn't worry about it for a day or so. When did you do the two coats?
I glassed the outside of my Rob-Roy on different nights ( 3" tape, 6" tape and then 3.25oz glass over all. Each one cured a little different as I had different tempuratures each night. One cured to hard over night, one cured to hard in two days and the 3.25 oz stuff, I heated the garage up a bit more and it seemed to cure to the touch in 6 to 8 hrs. and Sandable in 12 or so. Don't know what your temps are, but if you got a firm cure in a day or so, then you are on your way. Give it a little time. I have mixed some batches on cold evenings ( without heating the garage ) for little jobs and it has worked out just fine. And I have not had any problems when I got the mix just a tad off.
That is to say, I got just a tad above the measurement line I wanted and to put the proper amount of hardener, there wasn't a line to go by, so I eyeballed it and I still got all good batches. RAKA seems to be very forgiving in that area. I think you will be fine. Good to hear that the 5 oz. cloth has worked out so well. Did Larry give you any tips on it's use when you talked to him? Anything out of the ordinary?

- Just let it sit a bit. It gets harder in time
