Paint
« on: September 06, 2022, 07:22:55 PM »
I would think you all know Latex paint dries far faster than oil based paint. Right?

In about an hour Latex is dry to the touch and you can top coat it in about 4 hours. Oil base is a lot longer; 6-8 hours for dry to the touch and 24 hours before you should top coat it. Latex cleans up a LOT easier too.

Seems simple, right? But WAIT!

High humidity will delay drying time in both types of paint. Temperature is a big factor too. House painting with latex is a Fall job; you want temps in the 55-60F range for best results and longevity. In the summer, oil base is better for hot weather; it's good from 40 to 90F.

Remember too that a primer coat is your friend. Primer will stick better to whatever you paint so the paint job should last longer.

Top notch!  Now how about the addition of a fan at various speeds?  How does that affect if at all?

Do any of these paint manufacturers have any sort of a hotline that you can call and ask them about the drying process?

 only way to be sure if it's wet or dry is to gently touch it with your finger. as you get more experience   you will know without having to touch.

I am pretty much a Sherwin-Williams guy. I've had great, long lasting results with their interior and exterior paints. I do buy paint towards the top of their lines. Not the most expensive but usually they come in 2nd or 3rd in cost.

As to your question: Of Course!

Meatwad, when you do that you are taking a huge risk. You have no idea how long the paint may take to dry.

I wish I could find oil-based paints.  They last forever.  But no one around here sells them.

SW runs good sales. When you know you're going to need paint, start watching the sales. I've bought good paint 40% off list at times.

Cheap paint is just that. You get what you pay for. If you're selling, use cheap paint and get it on the market quick.

Painting the house you're going to be in for a decade....go for the good stuff. It doesn't cost, it pays.

It's a little known fact that paint drying is only half of the story...  It must also cure.  Drying occurs when water and chemicals in the paint evaporate.  The remaining elements of the paint can then bond together and "cure".

It's a fascinating process.
