I suppose this thread is a lesson to us all - To get the next coat on before the blush sets in, even if it means getting up at two in the morning to check. I hardly get any sleep when I am epoxying, I heat the workshop overnight and start the first coat early in the morning after turning off the heat to avoid outgassing, and just keep going with layup and fill-coats just as soon as the previous coat is able to take a fingernail indent and keep it. I don't stop until all my fill coats are on. My wife hates it because I keep waking her every couple of hours.

Love is always having to say you are sorry I guess.
