: You sound like you may be worrying way to much. If you applied the

: epoxy is not curing, make sure you have the right temp in your
: shop or building area. 70 degrees is what you need no matter

Thank you to all who responded. I checked the epoxy that I rejected, cured just fine and seems to nice and clear. What I did apply to the boat looks good as well. So guess I should measure carefully and relax.
Again thanks and my build keeps going even if slowly.
Had a couple of hot days,it was about 83 (F)in my garage where I do the epoxy work till the sun goes down then we move out to the driveway for more dilution of the fumes.
Next big deal will be building the skeg.
