Well what would happen if I just let it dry at 70 for like 24hrs or so? I don't have heAt lampd [/img]

- Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:14 am #206166 is there not a section that says how long for flash time or dry time without heated like that?

you may have got clear that requires baking and it may never or take months to cure if it does not say it on the can? ask the body shop or place you got it from before you do it!!!!! would hate to see all your work go to waist and have to chemical remove it and have to start over from scratch!!

- Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:58 am #206170 Ok that's true but at the same time reg. Can spray says 7 days to cure I never go by that even when I was in a body shop we would bake cars for no more than 2 hours and they were sent off to get buffed no later than the same or next day .
