DRYING:
Touch dry (room temperature): 1 hour Sandable (room temperature): 4 hours sandable (by forced drying tunnel): 1 hour Sandable (by forced IR drying): 30mins
Drying times are indicative because they depend on temperature, humidity, & importantly air flow conditions.
Drying of waterborne products must take place at temperatures not below 15°C and at a relative humidity preferably not exceeding 85%. Out of these limits, there is a slowing down of the drying and/or formation of a less hard and resistant film. It is always advisable for drying to be forced, with air previously de-humidified and warm (20-30°C).
