'hawk,
Or make your 'laminations' at an 8 to 12 hour schedule.
'High ratio' epoxy formulations tend toward blushing. I prefer their
other qualities and a quick 'sponge bath' does us all good.
It takes longer to describe the process than the actual 'doing' of it.
Plus, I'd rather NOT take a CHANCE.
The only 'completely non-blushing' {the mfg claims}epoxy I've heard of
is MAS. It's about 2x to 3x the cost of RAKA. I would have to pay TAX
AND SHIPPING even though they are only a short drive away, so that is
another reason to stay with what I'm using now.

[two coats of epoxy yesterday, sat overnight. This morning, 60 seconds
to 'sponge off', then sand for the first varnish coat on the hatch . . .
then breakfast. It will take 24-hours for the varnish to cure hard
enough for the sanding & next coat . . . LONGER than the epoxy work]
