1 The epoxy mixture has cured to a solid state and can be dry sanded and shaped. 2  You should not be able to dent it with your thumbnail. 3  At this point the epoxy has reached about 90% of its ultimate strength, so clamps can be removed.4  It will continue to cure over the next several days at room temperature.he time it takes for this transformation is the cure time. As it cures, the epoxy passes from the liquid state, through a gel state, before it reaches a solid state (Figure 1). As it cures, mixed epoxy pass from a liquid state, through a gel state, to a solid state.
