If one of the epoxy layers was not fully cured, then that would explain
the problem.  I do not know how that could be resolved.  The manufacturer
might have some advice if this is the case.  A possibility would be to
add another layer of epoxy with a higher ratio of a slow acting hardener.
I'm not sure if additional air drying might not be a bad idea.  I'm not
certain if air or oxygen would speed the curing.  I don't think so, but
it wouldn't hurt either.
