Paint “CURE” happens when your paint coating has reached it’s maximum hardness and is completely 100% dry. Paint “DRY” happens when the solvents evaporate from your paint coating leaving the paint feeling dry to the touch even though it is not 100% dry. This is because PAINT DRY and PAINT CURE are two different things. I’ve been painting furniture long enough to know that paint can feel DRY to the touch in as little as 1 or 2 hours, however CURE time usually takes 3-4 weeks. If you look closely, you’ll see exactly where the plate left its mark! Have you ever spent time painting a piece of furniture, painting your walls, cabinets, or anything at all then somehow mucked up your paint job because it hadn’t dried or cured properly? Beyond frustrating right?īefore I went on holidays last year (love saying “last year” even though it was only a few weeks ago… weird, I know) I repaired a table with edge-banding and gave it a flawless sprayed black finish.īecause I was in a rush with my packing, holiday preparation yada-yada-yada (do people still say yada-yada □ ), I rushed to get this table staged, photographed, and posted to this blog. My first blog post of 2014… Happy New Year!!! … I hope you and yours had a wonderful Holiday Season!
