EPOXY: How till you can fish.

I just finished a disaster emergency repair for my partner. Major spill broke 3 guides. Layed on the epoxy 2 hrs. ago. Aftcote. What is a safe time allotment to use the rod? I realize all the rods I finished w/aftcote the finish dries and hardens but it is pliable . Not like Flexcoat which in a week it gets hard. finger nail doesn't stick in it like Aftcote. One note @ RISAA show I spoke w/ a builder forgot his name, told me that you need to flip the hardner bottle every so often to keep it from seperating. ???? I did any way. What do you think?
