I once went through something similar on a Lido 14. I don't know at
what point in time it finally cured, but withing a month or two, and I
was using it the whole time, it finally cured. I didn't have time to do
anything else, and I wasn't about to give up sailing. This was a repair
on the exterior of the transom, below the waterline, too. After a dual
with the rocks, just like Bernie. It was an old cheap boat. It worked
out fine, eventually. You could see the scars because I couldn't match
the color exactly, but it did cure.
