Hello
I've made a couple of plywood shelves for the cockpit and coated them with two coats of polyster resin to strengthen and seal them. I intend to then coat them with a two pack acrylic paint to give them a tough, low maintenance finish (one will be walked on, one will have a cobb barbeque stood on it.)
How long should I leave the polyester resin before painting? It cures within 60mins accordibg to the label. But I imagine it will be giving off fumes for a good many days after, judging from how long a resin job on the boat takes to stop smelling noticeably.
