Using U 40 high build, how long should I let the dryer turn?

I'd give it 3 hours just to be sure. Might be able to get by with 2 but 3 would be much safer... and it depends on your room temperature, too.

I always let mine run for at least hours. Just in case! Better a little too long than a little too little.

I use Flex Coat Hi-Build and normally let it turn overnight.

Why be unsure? Leave the unused epoxy out on its flat surface, test to see that it has firmed up, test it with a toothpick (can still be tacky) before offing the dryer. But agree with comments above re Flex Coat: 2 hrs usually ok, 3 safer.

I use Tom Doyle's method. I also use toothpicks and normally 2 to 3 hours is enough.

I usually apply finish last thing at night and let it run all night.That way there is no temptation to screw it up.
