Typically at 20C you would expect initial firm hard cure at around 24 hours. Cooler temperatures can take a lot longer.
However if it is curing with sticky patches that don't go away, then generally the sticky patches are areas of improperly cured resin. - usually from too quick mixing or quite commonly scraping the dregs off the side of the mixing bucket (especially if only one was used) . The patches are in essence not fully cured..
If you can get fan heaters on it and raise the temperature then if the error is minor, it may naturally harden, otherwise the only solution is to sand back and re-coat.
