A week seems about right, especially if the local temperature is above about 60 deg F (though I have no personal experience with the epoxy you're using). It has been rather cold here lately, freezing in the night :-( I hope for some sun in the weekend, then I can drag the boat out in the sun to speed up the process. I'll call SP (or Diab which sells it here in Norway) on monday. Be *sure* to wash the cured epoxy surface to remove the amine blush before you proceed to the next step, which will likely include sanding the surface (*after* you've washed it) with something like 150 grit paper. Yes, I intend to wash it properly before sanding. After sanding I am going to clean it with Acetone before I apply the primer. I plan to use a two part Epoxy primer from Jotun. (www.jotun.no). According to their information I can apply anti fouling bottom paint on the primer after 10-12 hours and before 3 - 7 days, depending on the temperature. -- Oddgeir I am building a boat: http://www.oddgeirkvien.com/baat |
