72 hours at the minimum..........I like to go 30 days before varnishing....
Look at it this way ... You use the boat while the epoxy cures all the way , it gets scratched and some water marks on it while using it...... BIG DEAL , You got to use it and see how it handles.......
Then after that you lightly sand it ( you would do this no matter if it set in the shop or was used ) to remove any contamination , scratches and other stuff before varnishing.
You have it cleaned , lightly sanded and VARNISHED........ A new boat when varnished after having some fun with it.......
They say it takes the epoxy a total of 30 days to really set up and get to be itself....... Let it grow up before varnishing it. :wink: .
