Thad Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 First off I see that some people use the 5 min to coat during the paint process and then use the 2 Ton as the last coat to seal it. Is this method ok? If so that would take off a lot of waiting time for me. Is there any bad affect from using the 5 min epoxy, like yellowing? Also, how long do you usually wait to paint over the epoxy? For both the 2 Ton and 5 min stuff? Quote
Thad Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 Well forget the 5 min stuff. Tried it and it gave me no time to work with. Ruined my lure. Quote
Super User flechero Posted August 28, 2008 Super User Posted August 28, 2008 Devcon 5 minute epoxy is only water resistant. The 2 ton is water proof. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted August 28, 2008 Super User Posted August 28, 2008 exactly! 5 min won't totally seal the lure, 2 ton will. also, 5 min will yellow and doesnt give as hard of a finish as 2 ton. like you found out the hard way, 5 min has very little working time. Quote
Thad Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 How long do you guys usually wait to paint over the 2 Ton? Quote
BIG M Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 12 hrs to full cure but I usually wait 24hrs to make sure. 5 min is only used to install the hardware. Quote
