What is the pot life on the CPES?

Are there different hardeners for different times like West Systems?

I have great success w/Pettit Old Salem Clear wood sealer. Dunk the plugs for a minute, swab out all the holes, esp. the thru-wire and hang dry overnight. Never ever had any water-intrusion or topcoat issues.Even on my most rock-beaten, bluefish battered old plugs.

About $20.00/qt.

They make 2 formulas, warm and cold. Warm is for 86deg down to 50deg with a pot life from 4hrs at 86deg to 16hrs at 50deg.The cold formula is for below 50deg with a pot lfe of 8 hrs.

Priming is optional.

WHOaaa Dog !!! you been holding out on me .. I'm getting the warm weather formula .. Cold weather has so many solvents you'll OD on chem buzz . Must be done out side .. I can get away with warm weather formula inside because paint booth is venting fumes and heating dollars out the window .

Ya never listen to your elders anyway, for instance,
