Geoff, high on the spots is great! Let is set several days before the final sanding and that may not be enough. Patience. With the colder weather that stuff takes some time to really dry out. After that some top coats and you should be there. Good work. I had some "dips" on the top of one of my radios that were quite large (think tap of a ball peen hammer). Took a bit of a puddle with several applications to get it looking good. Now, you can't even see it on a big flat top. Don't rush the drying time on those spots. You can have them perfectly flat and in two weeks they will shrink down a bit.
