Flex Coat Finish: How long till it can go ice fishing?

Wondering if you should wait longer before taking a new rod out ice fishing than you would taking it out in warm weather (I just finished the rod - I don't have to wait for ice).

I am thinking at least 2-3 days. The cold may freeze any uncured epoxy. Correct me if I am wrong guys

Putter and Bill,
I don't know what I would prefer, the 100% humidity temp of around 95F or your nice dry cold -26F. At least I can drink cold beer with out having to wear a glove to hold the bottle.

I grew up with BAD hayfever and a bit of asthma; I learned quickly to enjoy winter. It was the only time of the year that I could enjoy myself. Summer is still my least favorite time of the year to this day, even with great allergy medicines out there. I just grew up that way and can't change it.

Yeah Putter, I can relate to you there, my eyes look like I have done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.
