In Response To: Epoxy: End Pour Info Needed (Dave Sprygada)

: Greetings All: The final push is here!!!

: Any info on how long the end pour will take to set up on 6 oz of West System
: Epoxy with 205 fast hardner. It is 65 degrees outside and I have it in a
: bucket of Ice water to keep from over heating. Thanks for anyones input.

Dan is correct, you don't need cold water. I use hot water with MAS (which is slower than West 205). The outside of the boat will not get above boiling temperature no matter how quickly or hot the epoxy sets up. This will let you do each end quite quickly.

Ice water not needed - warm instead
