Video suggests letting the paint cure for 14 days, many of the reviews say you can complete in a weekend. Do you have to wait or no to use counters?

Let it cure for at least 2 weeks.if you have done this in the winter keep the room warm.Do not cut anything on the surface or allow any standing water and it will be fine

We waited 10 days. A week probably would have been long enough. It still looks great. Make sure if you cut anything you use cutting board.

Honestly,I used mine after one day of drying! In was just careful and put some of those little felt pads under my microwave since it was heavy..I had no problems

I did mine all in one weekend and have had no problem, now I did not put appliances back on the counter-top for about 4 days. Hope that helps

No but don't set anything heavy on them for a while. Avoid putting the toaster, vases, etc. on the counter for a few weeks. It will be dry in about eight hours.

I did mine in a weekend. I did wait an extra day to put heavy stuff on counters. I put a piece of cardboard under my coffee pot and toaster just to be safe, for about a week.

Maybe 4...I did a light coat immediately followed by the next 2 a few minutes apart and then a heavy coat about 15 minutes later. It depends a lot on how much and close you spray as well, so that part is difficult to say, but someone noted that you should end with a nice glossy finish on the last coat.

I don't have the can near to hand but ideally you're looking at 70F for 30 minutes to 24 hours for best results. I applied when the weather was roughly 60 nearly 80F during the day during early-mid September, I had a lot of trouble waiting for the coating to cure and if it got moist from the dew at night it took hours more into the next day to 'dry'. I also had trouble mixing the coating to a consistency of a true bedliner, it was much more... textured (lumpy mess) in my case. Lots of lumps no mater how long or well I mixed. I do not believe this was temperature related though.

Hi I have just started using these paints and I let them dry for 30 min between layers I have never used medium with my top coat.Then I leave for 3 days to dry because I was having problems with the paint coming off when I handled the head to root the hair. I wasn't sure if it was because my coat's weren't thin enough or that It wasn't drying all the way so the 3 days helped a lot. I haven't had that problem again if you have more questions I will help if I can.

While the instructions clearly state WW sets-up in 20 minutes, and becomes "functional" in 60 minutes, the data sheet that comes with it states, though not as clearly, its full set (cure) time is 24 hours. This is a standard with most glues, epoxies, and adhesives, even when it states less time is needed. However, when more time is stated, abide by that time. MY EXPERIENCE: Nearly 30 years in the retail and wholesale hardware industry.

Curing time for gel polish is 1 minute. For top and base coats its 30 seconds.

This product will prep bare metal. Once prepped with rust converter, the surface will be ready for paint. Try not to wait too long to paint over the rust converter. One, two days at the most. I like using rust-oleum paint, works well to prevent rust from coming back.

Depends on the conditions outside on a typical day you could second coat in 4 hours but leave it 24 hours to cure before you intend to use the deck for anything else...

I want to say i let the adhesive coat with chips dry and set for 24 hours, sanded smooth, and wiped down to remove excess dust and then started with clear topcoat. I hope this helps you. I watched the instructional DVD included in the kit a couple times because I am a perfectionist. The instruction booklet also lets you know the time limits. It turned out beautiful. I am well satisfied

I am the same as the other 2 ppl here. Mines still as beautiful as the day I did it. I agree give ample time to let it cure. I gave it many top coats to be sure its well protected.

24 hours AFTER painted - place in oven one hour @ 175 degrees. A second curing a few hours later is sometimes helpful. Any contact with food in either direction is bad. (part to food / food to part) Make sure wife is out of town. Cook 2 or 3 pizzas one after another to help disguise smell.

Yes, you may sand the surface and apply topcoat once the original topcoat has had at least 24 hours to cure. Thank you for your question.

No, you can interrupt spraying as long as you have extra tips and you don't wait longer than 30 days (I believe this is what instructions said). I did my spraying over a couple of days without any problems. If you stop spraying longer than 30 seconds, you will need to swap out the tip for a new one. Make sure that you keep extra tips close by and that you protect the extras, as they are easily broken. I love the results of this foam. It worked out better for me than the rooms I had professionally foamed. Oh, one more tip... make sure the temperature is within the ranges - somewhere above 60 degrees F, I think mfgr recommends.

That is exactly what I used it for. It did a great job. Just make sure e give it time to cure. 5 days is what I did, then I sprayed undercoating on top of it

Kinect, Not long. Maybe 1-2 days? And for that reason, you shouldn't mix up more than you intend on using that day. This way you won't foul up your sprayer or end up spraying a finished solution which has deteriorated because the active has sat too long. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

Longer than you think. Take your time don't panic. Tape & cover everything it's a messy process. If you're very exacting & are doing a counter with a sink consider pulling the sink out. If that's too much for you tape well & be careful when you remove the tape.

It all depends on how thick the application ends up. Thin paint-like coats only tend to last 6-15 seconds. Thick strings like letters or filling in cavities will last longer. 1-3 minutes. It shrinks alot while drying, too. So multiple applications may be necessary. No better or worse than other glo-crafts.
