Yes yes on the dry out ,,Your one day repair had me worried. Wanted to say that BC the wood might look dry but its not, epoxy will sort of seal it in and moisture inhibits cure too.
I know you know this but just wanted to say it.
If you can, keep the epoxy indoors and even inside an old cooler. Some of the formulas are really moisture sensitive. Even @ Kona Marine, you will see many can have rust on them already.
A good way to extra penetration is get the resin on as the day is still warm but cooling. Hardening has to kick in still but if you can juggle the time, you can get better results and no out gassing as the wood will sort of 'inhale' it vs. going for it as the day heats up.
