Simple
Mix a little and see if it sets up and dries I keep that stuff for years and it still works Bill - willierods.com Re: U-40 rod bond still good?

how long does it normally take to set and dry? i bought it long ago but stopped rod building before i got to use it so how long should i wait to decide if its good or not?
also thanks very much for the reply :) Re: U-40 rod bond still good?

I would say about 12 hours if I put it on in the afternoon I don't play with it till the nexd day
You can even heat it either in water or microwave -- I do not think it will be nessarry to do so Bill - willierods.com Re: U-40 rod bond still good?

It's good forever. RodBond takes several hours to set about 24 to 48 hours to cure to useable condition.
If the resin is thick or congealed, you can set it in the microwave for about 10 to 15 seconds and return it to normal consistency. ............... Re: U-40 rod bond still good?
