Curing Time
| Temperature (50% Relative Humidity) | To Handle | To Recoat |
|---|---|---|
| 75°F (24°C) | 1 hour | 16 hours |
| 0°F (-18°C) | — | 7 days minimum |
Moisture is required to achieve proper cure. Curing time will vary with temperature and humidity. At relative humidities below 30%, it may be necessary to gently spray the coated surface with water to achieve proper cure and to minimize recoat time. Consult your Tnemec representative for specific recommendations.
