The test batch in the cup might be a little optimistic. It is more likely to cure because it has a lower surface area to volume ratio than does the same amount of mixture spread out over the boat. The proper mixture in the cup would start smoking as it cured, but spread out over the hull the temperature increase would be negligible.
