I just did mine with Imron. Was safe the next day but I would still wait a few days.

I just got done priming mine with SW paint yesterday, it's a 2 part primer, it was hard as nails this morning, I'm putting 2 coats of the the primer, and than 2 coats of the SW poly....I'll let you know how the top coats work out, but to answer your question I would think you should be good to stand in it the next day....

As long as you mix it properly you will have no problem standing in it or working in there after 24 hours I use these products every day if you need anything!

I used rustoleum with a hardener and it worked great. It's very tough and has proven to be easy to clean.

I striped and sanded my bilge, tried to level and straighten it out, the older Cig bilges were pretty rough...so I primed first with SW B58w610 part A and B58v600 part B, mixed the two together 1to1, two coats, and then I used B65w311part S paint, B60v30 hardener mixed 4to1, 2 coats....I think I paid $250 for everything, gallon of primer, and gallon hardener for primer, gallon of paint and a quart of hardener for the paint, its enough to do 4 boats...
