Thank you mike for your polite thoughtful post. You are right about the epoxy curing and not drying. Thank you for the info on most people being able to varnish after one week. I did not know that.I appreciate all the help from you guys. George I even learned something from your post also. Peace and Rain to all...Ronnie

: Remember that epoxy cures - it doesn't dry. So the idea of a thin coat curing
: quicker than a thick coat doesn't apply here. If anything the opposite is
: true.

: Once the solvent evaporates I would expect the epoxy to cure at it's normal
: rate. Most people was been successful varnishing after letting their epoxy
: cure for a week.
