In Response To: Epoxy: time between saturation and fill (canary)

: Just getting ready to glass the hull on a Pygmy and wanted to know if, after
: saturation, the fill coats need to be applied every 24 hours. Will waiting
: longer mess thing up later? Using Sys III epoxy and they say 72 hours
: without sanding. Does this apply to the fill coats as well?

: Larry

This is from memory Larry, but I used Raka epoxy and I think the dirrections for their epoxy said 18 hours before having to sand. Anyway I got my coats on with in that 18 hour period.
