Epoxy on green poly.

Should be a quick one with no way to fight - Making structural parts out of poly/ installing in epoxy. How long do I wait? Thanks - Mark

They merge very well. I have done it several times with grp parts that were still tacky.

I let them sit a few days, thinking whatever outgassing or whatever is happening would be done. I 'spose I didn't even need to wait that long. I was being careful as they are major structural (keel extension, upper rudder shelf). 'Nother question - Water got splashed on the raw rebuild area of the keel today. I don't have a moisture meter. If it looks/feels dry, is it dry enuf for epoxy? Serious stuff happenin' on my boat tomorrow morning, then. Thank-you. - Mark
