    Another thing you can do is water bag. A water bag will weigh down the cloth in a tricky area. I have done it with two trash bags well sealed with a knot on one and a tie on the 2nd. It may help on the cockpit area to try water bags. Sorry, I forgot about this trick. The plastic does not stick to epoxy; not sure about esters. And it would affect oxygen and catalyzing; keep that in mind. I don't use esters enough to comment how to mitigate.

    Did you see his comment on his polyester kicking too fast? I sort of buried it.

    Water bags usually slow the reaction by adsorbing heat. However a hot water bad can kick start things.
