I was just courious if the sun, and heat from it, will effect "fresh" rod wrapping epoxy? How long should 2 light coats be allowed to dry-after hardening-before given to a customer for use in the hot summer sun? How long is your "deliver time" after the epoxy step at normal room temps, NO heated box.

All epoxy rod finishes have different properties such as this drying/curing time property.
Most of them; I'd give 3 days to dry and cure properly. A week would be better to be sure, but 3 days is a pretty decent rule of thumb. The finish I use I'll let out the door in 24 hours, no problems. Putter Williston, ND Re: Sun and heat effect on new wrapping epoxy

The sun shouldn't do anything but further speed the cure. Heat accelerates the cure. Re: Sun and heat effect on new wrapping epoxy

I sometimes suggest to leave the rod in the car for a few days to help cures the epoxy and finish used to make the rod.

I do not let a rod out the door until the last coat of finish remaining in the aluminum pan will pass the test of the "fingernail mash". No dent good to go. Even with the same finish these pan tests are a variable. The quickest one to pass the test will normally be Glass Coat which I use for repairs.
