: Do you have to let epoxy dry before applying the varnish? Or can I varnish it
: as soon as I get it joined and sanded. If it does have to dry, then how
: long does it need to?

: Thanks

I wait until i think the epoxy is fully cured and then I wait another week to be sure to be sure as we say here in Ireland where it tends to be cool and often damp.

I also give the varnish a couple of weeks to harden up fully before first launching. But then I have other boats to use while I am waiting. Not always easy to be patient when one has built a new design and one wants to see how it goes. Some varnishes are still good for a chemical bond weeks after an application. I assume that that means they have not yet fully cured or hardened.
