: I let it cure to the "green" stage before applying the second coat.
: Still tacky, not fully cured. That way the second coat can adhere with a

Hoz,
Hey, I hope I'm not offending you by not heading this, "Mr. Hoz,". Good strategy here. I'm pretty sure given our seperate results, that the cold weather had much to do with the failure I had glassing the spray skirt lip of my current project. I think the fact that I was using two seperate brands of epoxy and harderner, one on top of the other "without any curing time allowed", also contributed. It's all sanding dust now anyway. I seal coated the surfaces prior to glassing, which I hope to get done tonight. Thanks mucho for your input here!!!
