It’s currently 34°F outside. I’m waiting for the sun to warm the house to the lowest recommended temperature for application, 35°F. Second coat. Really regretting getting fancy with accent colors.

    We’re talking about the environment.

    35°F - 90°F ambient temperature with a humidity under 75% to dry in 2-4 hours for a second coat. Outside of that range (0-35°F, 90-135°F) means paint can still be applied, but you need to wait 12-24h before applying a second coat.

    Of course, if we’re outside of the target range, the painter stops working well before the paint would.
