DRYING AND RECOATING
Substrate temperature:10C
Touch Dry: 1 hour
Overcoating times : Minimum - 8 hours Maximum - normally overcoated within 28 days
Substrate temperature: 20C
Touch Dry: 30 minutes
Overcoating times : Minimum - 4 hours Maximum - normally overcoated within 28 days
Environmental conditions: The air temperature should be at least 5C with a surface temperature 3C above the dew point and the relative humidity below 80% thus ensuring that the surface is dry and that condensation will not occur during application or drying. Drying will slow significantly at temperatures below 10C.
Do not apply in conditions below 5C
Do not apply to external surfaces if the forecast is for rain to fall within the next 4 hours.
In exposed windy conditions a minimum air temperature of 8C is recommended.
