What you say seems quite correct, as I tend to get better results when
the glass is left to completely cure, anyhow, I have fabricated some
composite material for the fuel tank and lt has a very even tone and no
defects or irregularities in the surface texture, I think also that in one
or two pieces I made, that uncured resin had polluted the foam, so I make
sure the work bench is surgically clean, and am getting much better results.
