What is the dry time of Mr. Surfacer? I put some on some seams to fill, and am wondering how long to let it dry (cure?) before sanding? I believe it's Mr. Sufracer 500 (the thicker kind).
Thanks,
John
Pretty fast. Should be OK to sand in about 1/2 hour. I've sanded in less time too. Give it a poke before you do just to make sure.

Yes, solvent based. Dries very fast. I usually give a 1/2 hour or so.

It's all about classic cars now!
Why can't I find the "Any" key on my keyboard?
Ok - thanks! I guess now that I've waitied a day or so it should be good to go, right?

Yes.
I used some Mr. Surfacer 500 to fill the wing lines on my P-51 a few nights ago. You know how queso gets that nasty cheese film as it sits and cools? Mr. Surfacer exposed to the air does the same thing.
I was able to "dab up" to fill the seams, then sand them down all within about 45 minutes.
When I've used it in "thinner" applications, i.e. Mr. Surfacer 1200 as a primer, I've been able to handle it without issue in as little as 20 minutes.

When in doubt, Wait it out.....
More time will never hurt. I usually give it an overnight.... not that you couldn't sand in an hour or so, just my personal preference.
Good luck with it.............

Enjoy the ride!
If its a real heavy coat, it can take 24 hours. But it usually takes less than that. You just have to experiment.
