Thanks for the reply, Paul. Here's what my testing has revealed after
about 20 hours curing time. In both tests, when trying to separate the
two layers of fiberglass, the original material failed, delaminating,
leaving the rudux, intact. Hmmmm. Perhaps further tests, including
total cure time (2 weeks) will provide more information. I've got the
time, so why not?. I'll post the findings, when I get them...
