Hi Steve:
I assume you're still in Florida? With the temperatures in the mid 80s
already, you will be surprised how quickly the epoxy kicks and cures. Don't
dawdle after you mix it. One day is plenty of time to cure in this heat, in
my experience.
Good luck with the new boat.

Subject: Stus-List West System cored hull time to cure
I am contemplating installing a new transducer in a cored hull, but have
only 2 days till scheduled launch. If I do it, it will be a 2 inch hole, and
I want to do it right.
The process I have got from the list over the years is in a nutshell,as
follows:
Once the hole is cut, and the core dug out to some range around the hole,
you fill it up again with West System thickened expxy. Then drill it out
again and proceed as with a solid hull.
How long does the epoxy take to set?
What would be a minimum time to budget for the whole process?
I have never used epoxy other than glue.
Thanks,
