About this product

A contractor semi-gloss with a half-hour touch dry and a 7 to 10 day wait before scrubbing. The sheet applies at 50°F and above, and asks new concrete to age 30 days first.

Using this specific product

Glidden (PPG) Speedwall Semi-Gloss 8180 is listed here as the Interior latex semi-gloss (Canada sheet) version for interior walls, trim, and new concrete (after 30 days). For painting, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • Confirm the package says Interior latex semi-gloss (Canada sheet); related versions can use different timing.
  • For interior walls, trim, and new concrete (after 30 days), pay particular attention to surface preparation, coat thickness and ventilation.
  • At 77°F (25°C) and 50% relative humidity.

How to check readiness

Test an inconspicuous area for firmness and blocking before normal use. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Before recoating, confirm the first coat matches the manufacturer’s stated condition; if the maximum window passed, check whether sanding is required. The sheet gives 7 to 10 days before cleaning.

Avoid this mistake

Recoating too early can trap solvent or water; waiting much longer may require scuffing under the label directions.
