I thought for a second that Hot Body Filler was a post sent mistakenly to
the Triumph List.
It seems not, LOL.
Two thoughts Dave:
1) There will be a range of acceptable paste:hardener proportions. Head
for the lower amounts of hardener and you'll have more working time. Make
sure you mix well.
2) Don't spend time cleaning the mixing board and spatula. Find disposable
alternatives. I've used plastic document sleeves before, and plastic
packaging. Find a disposable spatula. Lolly Ice sticks seem workable. I've
used scrap wood trim before. Then you'll only have the spreader to clean.
The more flexible your spreader, the easier it is to break off the
hardener. Use two spreaders. Let one harden while you spread with the
other. Then bend spreader to flex off the hard filler.

I have never had any problem with the finished product when reducing the
amount of catylist to reduce hardening time. Down here in Southern AZ,
you
have todo what you can to adapt to the torrid heat.

This is not something I have chosen to experiment with, but all sources
I
can find highly discourage this. The hardness, adhesion, durability of
the
filler is dependent upon it being mixed in proper proportions.
