CP Cure

I am pressed for time and was wondering how quickly I can apply epoxy finish over CP without having problems. Can I increase cure time using a hair dryer and apply finish within a couple hours?
I am not use to deadlines. Thanks for your help.

I have done it in 3 or 4 hours without problems in a pinch although I would wait as long as you can

some CPs say you can speed up with the hairdryer - check for which one you are using

Jeff,

If you are in time crunch, the Diamondite CP cures in 15 to 30 minutes and is ready for the finish. As you may be aware, our Diamondite Rod Finish also cures as fast as one hour per coat possibly solving your time crunch. Just an option to consider.

Tim,

Thanks for the info, I was unaware of those cure times do to the fact that I have not used the products. I will be including them among my supplies.

Diamondite requires specific heating (semi-spotlight). That's how the quick-dry works. It is unlike any other of the products available.
