If you use hot water in the bag, your epoxy will cure really fast!

Dont' ask me how I know. Okay, ask me how I know!

: My rear hatch is finished (with magnets) and the front hatch is curing with 2
: gallons of water in a doubled trashbag pressure setup. Vaclav recommends a
: bag of wet sand, but I only have clay and rocks, and lots of leaves.

: Trust me, there is a hatch and CF/Fiber Glass layup under there. The hatch
: and boat is protected by clear shelf paper. Hatch is duct taped from
: outside and reinforced with fiber packing tape so the hatch will stay
: under the pressure of the water.
