: 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.

You could use ordinary lightbulbs to accelerate the initial cure, just make a small tent over the scratched area of the hull to localise the heat.
