Was coating the raw wood in my b20 project boat last weekend with polyester resin in order to start to seal it.Here it is a week later,and the resin is only about half cured.The boat is in the shade,and the items that were coated and left in the sun to dry,cured just fine.I covered the boat with plastic,put in dehumidifers for 24 hours.No difference.Put space heaters in the boat,with a small fan.And got the boat warm to the touch.But no difference.Put a heat lamp to an area untill it was very warm.No difference.Does anybody have any good ideas? Right now the hole bilge,including all the stringers,bulkaids,and supports are to darn wet to do any work on it.Thank you in advance,Jeff
