Hey Hugo,
I glassed in the composite core on my transom the weekend before last, and if it is anywhere near as hot in Florida as it is in Louisiana right now, don't count on the slow hardener giving you lots of time. I was making lots of very small batches with slow hardener (epoxy) and almost lost a few batches (only actually lost 1 batch). Starting really early in the morning helps. We didn't have any trouble in the morning but we did it in stages and by the afternoon we were having problems with it kicking too fast. I always had lots of time working with it in the Spring/Fall/Winter, but to give you an example, we put in a couple layers of 1708 and it was hard enough to drill within an hour. It is possible that some of that could be because some of my epoxy and hardener is getting old (I started this project years ago), but it is just crazy hot this year.
