If you continue you will have the worst case of bubbles in the layup imaginable (don't ask how I know). If you are pushing the time or it is cool in your shop warm up the part with a heat gun just to be safe. West Systems epoxy should only be used in non-structural micro fill applications. Works good since it will absorb more micro than Jeffco and is easier to sand. Steve
