epoxi cure

Four months ago I did some repairs (building up of the bow ,stern, and skek box opening with epoxi and chopped glass fibers). The following day I painted the repaired areas with an enamel paint. It seems from reading the recent posts re: "epoxi then varnish" that I should have waited longer to give the epoxi time to cure. Any advice as to what to do now.What pecentage of the total possible sthrength am I loosing? I have been using the boat and the only sign of wear is that the paint has again worn off a some in those same areas. Thank you. Happy Hollidays to all. konstantin
