A bit of progress <gasp, stagger>
Without further ado:
1. A sealing coat of resin on the interior flat surface again - at last! WEST 207/105 used - but I was exceedingly careful to clean out the hardener pump nozzle (again) and test it, as precautions against the last disaster

2. Resin sealing coat viewed from the other side, looking at the long thin ex-bubble. The odd marks near it are where I slapped a bit of extra (rapidly gelling) resin over this and the other ex-bubble, using a brush

3. Very slightly different view from previous snap. I'll be putting one - and one only - more coat on this before flipping the roof over and dealing with the top surfaces (another coat or two of Aqua-Cote high-build epoxy primer to toughen things up

4. View of one of the underside "panels" without flash. Given that the resin that it went on top of is still slightly gummy (as far as sandpaper is concerned) I added an extra pupm of hardener to the 10 resin:10 hardener batch

5. Same area as in previous snap, with flash. No alarming fish-eye tendencies here :). Cross fingers...

I ended up cleaning the "eaves" fairly thoroughly with degreasing fluid followed by acetone, on account of walking around on it and getting a small amount of cutting-oil-soaked swarf from the mill on (restricted) portions thereof. There was one small, quasi-hidden spot on the other side of the frame which the resin didn't take too kindly to: no doubt a flying droplet of kerosene and oil. Happily, it responded well to some fairly vigours treatment with a brush. One more coat of resin will get slapped on next, then I'll deal with the slightly starved A-frames. After that, the thing can be flipped over and the final coats of high-build water-based epoxy primer rolled on. I'm really not going to be terribly fussy with these final stages: get the resin dealt with, the paint rolled on, and it and the boat out the door! There will stiull be the odd bout of sanding in between various coating sessions to keep my fingers from freezing off. The pump has stopped coming on now, which is probably a Good Thing(TM).
I used some of the small amount of left-over resin to mix up a very small batch of glue so that I could make some temporary repairs on my broken reading glasses frame. They (frames and a lens, I'm rather rough on my poor spectacles) will need to be replaced soon, though.
A quick check an hour or so later and there was no sign of fish-eye, so I'm going to go out on a creaking limb and say that it is probably going to be reasonably successful this time.
A check made four or so hours after applying the resin showed it to be getting pretty tacky and no sign of fish-eye. Whew! Second and final coat tomorrow, then.
