Title: RE: paint drying time

In response to those who were asking about paint drying times last week, this is what i got back from my mate the spray painter

Q:

    Is there a Panel Beater AND/OR a spray painter on the
    list!!!

    I need to know some info, I alway leave the primer to
    dry for a least 24 hours before I spray the top coat!

      Do I have to wait this long?

A:
If the primer is acrylic, it depends on how many coats are applied and how thick they are.� Generally there should be around three heavy coats.�Using this example it should take around 12 hours, this usually means overnight.� But upon saying this the temperature should be around 25 degrees or higher.��The weather lately is quite cold overnight so this may make it take longer to dry.� If the primer is�a 2 component formula, it should take no longer than 12 hours at�16-25 degrees, if so I would check your hardener, maybe the mixture is�not correct or the hardener has "gone off".�

So there you go.
I think we answered this anyway, but he doesn't check his email often so the reply was a bit late.

Cheers
