: Wondering how much of a deal this is. I am refinishing a boat and
: needed to fill a couple of deep scratches with epoxy. Now
: normally you would let the epoxy fully cure (several weeks)
: before varnishing. I was not going to sand the patch but use a
: cabinet scraper to fill (no uncured epoxy dust issues this way).
: How big of a deal is it if I varnish the boat in a couple of
: days. BTW, I am in the recommended temp range but at the lower
: end.
Varnish it. I've built and repaired several boats over the last dozen years and its never been a problem to do a repair and when it dries hard, sand and varnish. Once the epoxy is hard it wont make a difference.
