What are your thoughts on the minimal amount of time to wait for the EM6000 to cure before rubbing out and buffing? I read atleast 100 hrs. The drying conditions in my shop have been 40-45% humidity and 60-70 degrees. I was just curious to hear some thoughts on those that use this product.

Thanks,
Jeff

I've only done one but I did parts of it twice and seemed to work just fine after 5 full days.

Hi Jeff,

I just finished spraying my mad rose OM with EM6000. Put the last coats on Thursday. I'll wait until next Saturday. Jeff Weiss at Target claims 100 hours is sufficient, but I usually wait at least a week. If I am in no rush, I'll wait 10 days.

i have finished many instruments with this stuff and have found minimum shrink back happens after two weeks but one full week is ample....and with a good pore fill job 5 days is fine
