I use this product since my previous supplier discontinued their product. I am happy with EF80 in general but I have found that exposure to water in some instances tends to result in a milky discolouration that disappears once the hull dries off. Is this a normal situation? I produce the kayaks as a professional boat builder so am concerned that the product is not actually suitable in the long run.

Due to the nature of my finishing room and heating systems and the completed kayak (timber framed) I can only really get up into the low 30's. Would this achieve anything useful? Is a longer cure at a lower temperature effective?
