AAAHHHHHH Orange Peel

I sanded my hull down, cleaned with paint thinner and put a final coat of epoxy down. Applied with a brush, rolled it with a foam roller and then tipped it out with a brush. Looked great, for about 2 minutes. Then it took on an orange peel look! Anyone know what causes this?

I used system 3 resin and fast hardner. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the fast hardner. I have not seen this with the slow.
