3. Getting too hot can cause the resin to soften and re-distribute itself in the matrix, so make sure the above paint is white.
4. Too much resin will make it harder and can cause it to crack as per 1. above. So worst case weigh out your resin, best case use infusion or pre-preg.

#3) the heat "WILL" also cause your foam-core to melt !!
another reason for white paint. I use Nomex-Honeycomb
so i don't care about that one, UV inhibitors will work.
to protect the resin though, if Ya like that Carbon look !
#4) Weigh the resin like the man said
(1-gram of fiber TO 1-gram of resin) spread it out then
get rid of 15% of the resin with shop-towels wrapped
around toilet-paper ; Or use Peal-Ply & baby-blanket under
the vacuum bag.
Too much resin will cause the lamination's to FLOAT with
epoxy between ; this causes the Epoxy to act like a core
material so as to add thickness. NOT GOOD because the epoxy
is kinda brittle so it breaks down between the fibers.
A Quality core increases the strength by the (3) of the thickness.
