I have all my supplies in, was hoping the weather would cooperate so I could finish up and go fishing...Heading to Ft. Lauderdale to the boat show for 9 days. so it's going to be cold when I get back I have US Comp. medium hardener. They say to double the cure time below 60 degrees, no biggie on the cure time but moisture is what I need to watch out for correct? Blushing? I'm going to need to do some research on that.

Long cure times can be problematic especially when doing vertical surfaces. The EEEEEpoxy will run off and pool at the bottom and you'll spend a LOT of time pulling it back to the top of the surface. If you don't the laminate with be weak due to resin starvation. It's best in cold weather to get a HOTTER batch so it will start to Kick in a reasonable amount of time.
