Default Polyurethane and tacky epoxy

We have put wet latex over wet epoxy (epoxy that was mixed minutes

folks usually wait a bit past tacky (but still soft enough to put your
thumbnail into the epoxy).

Actually epoxies take about a week to fully cure, so if you have
topcoated epoxy in less than a week, you've actually painted over not
fully cured epoxy anyway. At least in theory, the coating fuse and you
get a chemical as well as a mechanical bond.


provided, of course, that no surface blush has developed...
