Frequently Asked Questions

What drying and recoat times should I expect, and how do temperature and humidity affect them?

Dry and recoat times vary by formulation—water-based primers often dry in 30 minutes to an hour and recoat in 2–4 hours, while oil-based primers can take 6–24 hours; higher humidity and lower temperatures slow drying, so follow product instructions and allow extra curing time in cool or damp conditions
