Any other tips that might be helpful?
Yes :!: Dont do this :D ........
Throw a drop cloth over the hull with an oil filled space heater underneath to warm the surface overnight.
Over the years there have been more than one instance of people have coating failures due to residue from oil heaters. The epoxy would probably be OK, but any paint you put on in the future might have serious issues

This isn't a kerosene heater. It's uses warmed oil in sealed tubes to conduct the heat. Looks like an old-school radiator style heater but plugs into an outlet.

Well just have to see how the next couple coats come out.
There's no hurry....I ned to buy three more sheets of plywood to finish the boast. Trouble is 8' snow drifts block access to the shop door and even if I had access my trailer is buried in snow.


Its been a tough winter..
