Nice job. Looks similar to my process on Nut Case (J27)
Intersting similarities. My first section I cut out too large an area because I thought the wet would have spread further. (of course the next sections I had to cut out more than I originally intended because it has spread).
The deck appears flat but is actually sloped and to different degrees as you move fore or aft. The pain would be with what I called the levelling coats. thickend epoxy (I used West 407) which would sag downhill. This meant the next layers there were always small areas to build up from this. I found after glassing in the new core material that two layers of thickened epoxy that I called levelling layers were required followed by two skim coats to fill in holes from bubbles, etc.... Always one more skim coat than expected and usually when running out of time.
As for rain. I have found that so long as the epoxy has kicked and the area is sealed to keep water out of the core it usually is OK if the rain is light and several hours later. I found the biggest pain with rain would be during refinishing process. It seems to always cloud over and start to spit just as i am about to roll on new paint.
I love the interior pic of the J30. When compared to J27 it is a castle.
