About this product

A brochure with two paint answers: exterior latex paint after 4 hours, but a week before oil-based paints, sealers or stains. The rain rule is generous at 1 to 3 days of cure, and the sheet marks its time as dependent on temperature, humidity and bead size.

Using this specific product

Sashco Mor-Flexx is listed here as the Elastomeric exterior sealant version for exterior sealing. For sealing a joint, 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 Elastomeric exterior sealant; related versions can use different timing.
  • For exterior sealing, pay particular attention to joint depth, tooling, ventilation and exposure to water.
  • The source gives no conditions for this time.

How to check readiness

Probe an inconspicuous edge for a continuous skin and follow the stated water-exposure milestone. The brochure says it skins over in less than 30 minutes. The brochure gives a tack-free time of 2 to 4 hours. The brochure says exterior latex paint can go on after 4 hours; oil-based paints, sealers or stains wait 1 week.

Avoid this mistake

Surface skin is not the same as through-cure, especially in a deep joint.
