Non-Drying or Poor Drying

 

 

CAUSE

REMEDY
A Humid weather. If possible, place in heated and/or dehumidified drying room.
B Cold weather. Maintain a temperature in drying area of at least 70"F to 75"F.
C Creasy, waxy or otherwise unclean wood surface.

Clean surface carefully with volatile solvents.  Dry completely.

D Failure to stir all pigmented finishes into proper suspension before application. Stir the material thoroughly so that the liquids and pigments will be evenly disbursed.
E If application is over a stained surface, there may be some dye in the stain used which tends to prohibit drying. Use the proper stain.
F Improper ventilation. Provide ventilation (air movement).
G An attempt to fill open grain wood by applying a heavy coat, or applying a heavy coat to flat surfaces such as table tops, retards through drying. Apply only over a normal wet coat, 4 to 5 wet mils.
