: Temperatures are in the low-to-mid 90's in the evenings here in Dallas when I
: work on the boat, and the only way to get enough working time the epoxy is
: to get it out of the cup immediately. As soon as it's mixed, I pour the
: entire contents onto the boat and spread it to prevent heat build-up. I
: also store the epoxy in the house, where it's a little cooler.

Have there been any problems with the humidity? My wife just got back grom Dallas and said when you walk outside you're soaked from the humidity. If the epoxy hardener is a slow cure then you shouldn't have too much of a problem with blush. Still, I'd check the epoxy real close between fill coats.

Lookin' Good!
