Do you know if it's important to have the top surface at the top (if you get my drift?) ie if flowcoating the underside of the bonnet, does the bonnet need to be upside-down (compared to when fitted) so that the wax floats to the TOP, or does the wax go to the surface whichever way up the part is? If it relies on gravity, then the wax could go to the fibre surface and the flowcoat remain sticky?
I would advise the OP waits until the ambient temp increases unless in a heated workshop! This cold weather isn't great for GRP work!
