Left Ez filet lid off for 48hrs...Issues??
Hey, quick question, i accidentally left the lid to the Ez Filet (both part A and B) off for 48hrs. I then laid some filet down last night and noticed it isn't hardening as fast. Maybe because of slightly cooler temps we've had down in Tx last few days but wanted to see those resins need to be covered at all times or should i be ok and just wait a bit longer? Thanks

Hardeners dry. Resins don't change much.
you should be fine for 48 hours lid off, I'd mix the hardener a bit and recover; the other thing my nose notices is the bisphenol does exit in the air; so unlikely, but possibly you had a little less reactive agent...
Give it time or warm the area a bit with hair dryer.

Thanks, will do.
Does setting the boat out in the sun work as well? any issues from UV damage i should be worried about?

Sun for heating works. UV damage needs time. Like several months. or 5 to be a bit more exact. That how long straight epoxy held up on some washboards on my helms. was worth the knowledge.
