smart ass ans more hardener than resin :)
but I have never had a an issue going vertical as long as I use the long
strand fiberglass & extra resin
and heck for 1" it does not take many coats of the long strand filler to
fill up an inch up to level
In my highly unprofessional opinion I'd not want that foam under the
fiberglass
I just did a the sliding door that I clipped late at night on camp garbage
can ..
Its only body filler I fight on vertical surface & thats only when is too
thick & in am in a hurry

YMMV
