The stuff we use in the shop for repairing circuit boards has a 24 hour cure time to 90%, another 3 days to 100%, dependant on temperature.
You'll likely run in to the same thing...colder temps = longer cure times.
As far as using less hardener, I'd do a test piece with that too. If we don't use enough hardener with this 24 hour stuff in the shop or if we don't mix it well enough, we won't know it for at least a day or so. The stuff just stays kinda mushy, never finishes curing. Big ol' waste of time.
Is the fiberglass going to be the outer layer on the edges? I assume it's going to get a few coats of paint eventually too? Hope you never have to take it apart again!!! And judging from the time and effort you've put in to the project, I don't think you will.
