It is the gillete type, b4 you coat the the boat with epoxy....b4 the "standers" stand up.....shave that boat it has whiskers ;)...you might have to sand again to free them up ;). The set time on the epoxy is being stretched out by the temps.....warm it up and it will go. Yes the west is expensive....but it is tough as H, has the UV, etc. Done the tape thing...IMHO it is easier to shave b4 the epoxy application. I have worked with this system a bunch with the paddles and boats. Did your pot set geof? If It did increase the temps and the epoxy on the hull will set.....If it did not you have a problem and a mess to clean up as you did not mix it correctly.....the slow can be slow when spread thin.....temperature decrease ;) Warm it up and walk away....she'll set. ;) The fast can be super fast depending on the day....have it to slow for your taste is a heck of a lot easier to deal with than having go to fast....gives to time to kick back and enjoy yourself and the work that you are doing ;)
