Epoxy: Cure time before launch?

So - I've done the last epoxy coat on the Silver, and would really like to try her out before varnishing. How long do I need to wait for the epoxy to cure before getting the hull wet? It's about 70F in the basement with moderately low humidity.

And - any varnish to avoid with MAS?
