    Fiberglassing with too less hardener

    Hi guys! Yesterday I closed a hole in my boat using a few layers of fiberglass. But it seemed to harden very slow, after 10 hours it's still not hardened out enough. I just discovered that I have used only one-third of the hardener I should have used. Does it just mean that hardening is going...
