How long should you let CP dry prior to putting on Flexcoat?

Hi Dale....depends on the cp...but a good rule of thumb is "overnight" or 24 hrs. Patience, is difficult sometimes, but if you rush, and its not dry......you may have to re wrap. IMHO!!!!!!!!!!

C.P. Drying time can be accelerated with a little dry heat,(light bulb or blow dryer) a fan, etc.
READ the label on your bottle first though !

I've used Flex Coat over Flex Coat CP in as little as 2 hours on a hot day with the rod in the sun, but it makes me very nervous. Normally I like to wait overnight.

I normally wait overnight but recently I was in a hurry. I applied Flex Coat over CP after only several hours. I ended up with tiny bubbles leaking out of the thread. I could actually see the bubbles forming (with cheater glasses) as they tried to escape the thick FC. I think this was because even though the CP seemed dry, it was not and the thread was not sealed resulting in trapped air to leak out. Luckily, I was able to get most of the bubbles out by hitting them with hot air from a hair dryer. This took a while since they continued to form as i hit them with the heat.
