Thanks for the additional advice. I completely agree that CLC folks and John H. are extremely forthcoming with helpful advice whenever asked. I wish I lived closer to Annapolis so I could attend CLC events. I'm on the Peel Ply learning curve.
I'd have expected a hairdryer would hasten the set even as it contributed to leveling but it sounds like a good idea. Any way to minimize sanding without detracting from the end product is a good suggestion.
All the best,
Mark
