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. Lift or move the item gently and avoid twisting the bond or pressing finished faces together. Before recoating, confirm the first coat matches the manufacturer’s stated condition; if the maximum window passed, check whether sanding is required.
Avoid this mistake
Recoating too early can trap solvent or water; waiting much longer may require scuffing under the label directions.
