I think it's very close, there is no solvents to dissipate.

Marine laminating resin is 100% solids content, meaning the hardener combines with the resin, in a chemical reaction, to form a new molecule. No solvents out gas or other materials leave the mixture, once the two parts are brought together. Penetrating resin is usually heavily laden with solvents, some of which will flash off and leave the mixture, before it hardens.
