upon reflection I see some differences.

I've never used acetone to clean an area before applying a patch. I'd stay
away from any kind of solvent. I brush the sanded area to get rid of any
sanding dust, and then blow in it.

I also go for a slow cure. I suspect a fast cure would not bond as well.
That may be a problem in the south. I'd use less than the prescribed
amount of catalyst in hot weather. Never had that problme up here. I'd
also work in the shade or on an overcast day down there, just like when
applying varnish.

hope that helps
