Cure Time

Post by Jason K »

I painted 218 with Brightsides (1 part poly) this week and am anxious to move on to portlight installation and nonskid application. How much time do I need to give the Brightsides to cure prior to taping off on top of the new paint?

Several days would be nice for a safety factor, but probably 1-2 days is sufficient, assuming the paint is dry and the substrate was properly prepared.

I did the exact same thing and I let the paint dry for about 5 days and had no problem, just remove the tape as soon as you are done painting.
