Drying Time?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, April 5, 2004 5:25 PM
Hi Everyone, Last night I applied Krylon Primer "Dries in 12 minutes or less" (at least that's what it says on the can)on the Bradley and this afternoon I applied another coat. How long do you guys usually wait before handling or applying a topcoat? It says 1 hour on the label. Thanks -Spencer

The stuff drys very quickly. You can safely wetsand, handle, and/or apply a finish coat within an hour.

use the old "nose" test....if it still smells like paint then it is still "gassing out" and isn't fully cured Clown [:o)]

Thanks for the input you guys. I think I'll wait about 3 days or so. I did give it a pretty good coat and I still smell paint. I'm going to redo the antenna bases today with copper wire. I used guitar strings and they look good but the bases look terrible. I shouldn't have any problems painting over copper should I?
