Hi Dale, FWIW, I was using 127/350 last night (see above post about measuring small amounts of epoxy) @ 68 degrees F. Guesstimating from the results on my scarf joints and the remains of the epoxy in the plastic cup, it seems 8-12 hrs. might be about right ... the literature states that 125/350 can be sanded after 12 hrs (I think)., but it seemed to me that it was still too tacky to sand at that point. Will be interesting to hear what Larry says...
