So I epoxied a sealer coat last night (Thursday night). I finished around 10:30.
I want to do the fiberglass this weekend. I'm using Raka epoxy with the 1/2 fast and 1/2 slow hardener. I am wondering if tonight would still fit in the window of "Uncured", around 22 hours out. Or if I should wait and sand and wash on Saturday AM around 36 hours... I would like to do it tonight as it is easier to get the garage to cool after heating it up if it isn't 80 degrees outside...
Also, after the sealer coat, I tipped off the epoxy and I know I hit every square inch... How long should you wait to start the tipping? I did the heat the garage, let it cool thing to try to eliminate air rising out of the wood. I rolled the epoxy on and tried to go as slow as I could to help keep the little bubbles away.
This morning there were several bubbles that were obvious now that the epoxy is nearly hard.. What are my options? If I get the bubbles open to the surface, are they likely to fill during the next coat or do I need to sand them out?
Thanks in advance.. Tim
