Default How long do you let Zpoxy dry/harden?

I have the back treated with as thin a coat as I could get on. Should 24 hours be long enough to harden or should I give it a couple days to fully cure?

24 hours should be plenty, I always used the container I mixed it in to judge hardness/cure. If whats left in the container breaks with a snap and you can sand and make dust your there.

If it is Z-poxy finishing resin 24hours should be plenty for a nice powdery sanding, as long as it is not too cold in the room. If you accidentally got another type of Z-poxy it's hard to tell.

Its sanding out fine. Very fine. So fine I ordered a new filtered rebreather thingy today. Should be here tomorrow so I can sand away. What grit would you use? So far I have used 220 on a 10" board. So much dust I retired the cheapy mask

Thank goodness for Google. I was THIS CLOSE to changing the title to "epoxy".

You'd bother to do that to a guy that calls a respirator a breather thingy?
