After the CP dries you can coat it with epoxy. No set time but the sooner the better. If you let the rod set too long dust can get on the thread. If it is going to be quite a while before I epoxy the rod, I will slip the rod into a plastic sleeve like the blanks come shipped in to protect the wraps from dust.

I prefer letting it dry overnight. Not saying it's necessary but being retired, I tend to determine time by night/day cycles instead of hours/minutes!
