We don't even know what sort of paint it is! Water based paints tend to dry a lot more quickly than oil based paint.

It is a primer and paint combo and should be ready for the second coat in about four hours unless we have it to cold or humid. *smile* unfortunately I did not think to ask this before my son tried to put on a second coat and now we have wasted some paint ands still have some streaking. Oh, well, it is our first project and we have both learned a lot. Hopefully the next coat will fix the problems.

Is this a primer coat? Some of the flat wall paints indicate you can recoat in 1 to two hours. The semi-gloss paint that we used required 2 to 4 hours but because a mixing problem at the store with the first batch the manufacturer told us to wait 72 hours. He wanted the first coats to cure before repainting. You will probably get as many different answers as there are color choices on your chart. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Jackson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 17, 2010 3:04 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] paint drying How long does it usually take for paint to dry enough to do the second coat? The first coat is up in my living room, but we are covering a wood paneling with a bone color and are going to need one more coat. At least I hope it is only one more coat. *smile* Second question, how long until it is dry enough for us to move the furniture back into place and then to actually be dry. I do have a dehumidifier going in the room to help the process along as yesterday was a rainy kind of day.it has Jennifer [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: [email protected] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [email protected]!
