If it's tack free you can use it, and it should be tack free in less than a day from when you applied it.

Re: How to repair cracks in Livingston hull

Didn't seem like too much air bubbles. Some of the pics looks like it but it was all ground down if it wasn't laid in the past 24 hours to give it good tooth so it might look like there's more. Little more to go tomorrow on the out side with fairing and gonna shoot the gel coat. It's amazing how much stronger and stiffer the hull is. Hope it lasts a while. If not I've vowed to blow it up already. Lol, yah right.

I tell fiberglass newbie,s all the time to watch some videos to learn some of the basics of fiberglass, but that was before I knew about youtube ect, Im sure there are tons of fiberglass vids on YT, I have been reading up on carbon fiber and vacuum sealing lately, but I bet there is a ton of info there!

Please stay on topic when posting. The OP finished this build 3 years ago, so it's a little late to give him advice.
