I am almost finished coat the keel of my M 15. The board, which was removed, has had several coats of the 2000E put on at about 84 degrees. It took about 2 1/2 hours to dry. I suggest that you call Interlux which has techs who will answer your questions. I found them to be very helpful. Bert M 15, Zephyr ************** Gas prices getting you down?

Folks may be interested in reading what Interlux advised in response to my inquiry.? Sounds like the window is a open a bit wider than a strict application of the "thumbprint" test would suggest --- <<Good Afternoon, When working in temperatures between 80-95F the InterProtect 2000E can certainly begin to cure quite a bit quicker then originally expected. Originally we recommended to wait a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 5 hours before applying your bottom paint. Now we are recommending waiting a minimum of 1 hour and no more then 5 hours. As long as the first coat of ACT was applied between 1 and 5 hours then there will be no adhesion issues. If you wish to give the InterProtect a light sanding if the overcoat window was missed, you can certainly do so, however you will most likely receive a light bond. The thumb print test is a always a great option to go by as well. Thanks, Jay at Interlux Technical Service>>
