: It's really hard to give a time for this, like Ian said it's when
: the resin isn't sticky anymore and still rubbery, use a short
: piece of strip material to check and check where the resin's run
: down the glass off the hull to not disturb the resin on the
: hull. Testing with your finger isn't a great idea, don't want
: direct contact with uncured resin on your skin.

Thanks you guys! Went out about three hours after i finished glassing the hull. it was just a tad sticky, but it cleaned up nice in about five minutes.
