I would give it a week before priming, I think the point is the epoxy is cured which is based upon temp and time.

There maybe info in this epoxy book: https://www.westsystem.com/wp-content/uploads/GougeonBook-061205-1.pdf

I will be interested in hearing what they have to say! I would think a couple of days would be fine. As long as you use a compatible bottom primer/paint designed to work with epoxy/glass boats. If anything you might even get a chemical bond, don't really know. Truthfully though I have no idea if you should wait 7 days or not, those are just my own thoughts. I never asked the question so it will be good to hear what RAKA says!!!

Thanks Chuck, I will pass along what the epoxy company says I think I'll give the paint company a call as well. It's ok if I wait a week other projects are needing some attention.

I finally got around to calling RAKA epoxy company today. They suggested 4-5 days to let the epoxy cure before paint. Sand and wash before painting.

You can never be too careful with painting ... it's the very WORST thing if it goes wrong!

You got that right, one of my biggest fear is the paint going sideways creating a mess. I will follow the directions to a tee.

Fear not, it does not go sideways, but it can run strait down hill.

It was a exciting day with the boat being turned over. It went well as the boat and everyone finished in one piece. I'll be happy to start the next stage of the build.

In terms of man-hours, you're about 1/3rd done at this point :)
