Hi : Sorry , but i'm not sure . I know we removed the excess chips and wiped the surface clean , which took a little time . Then we appliedthe clear coat . We basically just followed the directions that came with the material . We watched the procedure on line also . Good luck

I want to say i let the adhesive coat with chips dry and set for 24 hours, sanded smooth, and wiped down to remove excess dust and then started with clear topcoat. I hope this helps you. I watched the instructional DVD included in the kit a couple times because I am a perfectionist. The instruction booklet also lets you know the time limits. It turned out beautiful. I am well satisfied

Longer than you think. Take your time don't panic. Tape & cover everything it's a messy process. If you're very exacting & are doing a counter with a sink consider pulling the sink out. If that's too much for you tape well & be careful when you remove the tape.

After the 30 min bake in I would use the paint in a few hours. Later that night of painting I check the mixing cup and it was allready skinned over 12 hours later. Also open hardners have a short shelf life. I wouldn't use an open container past a few months

After just using a tan kit , it feels fully dry at 24 hrs. Does it require any prep to now do the clear coat?

I'm on my 4th application (using 2 coats each time) and I'm about halfway through the bottle. So if you only do one coat, it could last around 12-16 applications I'd say.

DO NOT sand between coats. When you first spray the clear it will look hazy. As soon as it flashes it will be clear. You really only need a couple of coats. That being said you will have a ton of clear leftover. If you don't use it all it is useless after 48 hrs, so put as many coats as you like.

2 min. each coat. If you have 1 base coat, 2 polish coats & 1 top coat it will take 8 min.

About 5-10 minutes. From the time you put the color in until it dings that it is ready. After you still have to get it out of mold, put on chassis, and decorate with stickers.

This paint is thicker than usual paint. If you use it out of the can while painting, it becomes even thicker. Thus, the drying time between coats needs to be extended from the recommended time. I advise pouring into a small container & refill as needed while painting. The recommended time between coats is 6 hours at 50% humidity & 77 degrees. It will feel "dry" long before that but don't be fooled, it is NOT ready for another coat. New wood needs 16 hours wait after the first coat. I always wait at least 24 hours, advise a light sanding & wiping with a tack cloth between coats. Don't rush a job that will last 10+ years. This paint is thicker than usual paint.

Get one that has little to no fuzz. You won't be able to use it on the first coat. You need the brush to get into the cracks, crevices, etc. Second/third coat--roller was great. Got a very smooth covering with no drip marks.

It depends on how thick of a coat you put on it. I would say for a glaze (a think layer) it would only take a 5 mins to fully dry. Then you could put another coat to give it a more risen 3d affect.

It all depends on how thick the application ends up. Thin paint-like coats only tend to last 6-15 seconds. Thick strings like letters or filling in cavities will last longer. 1-3 minutes. It shrinks alot while drying, too. So multiple applications may be necessary. No better or worse than other glo-crafts.

I did it in the summer but I think it was about an hour. About the same as any paint. Should dry between coats.

After you apply leave it 20 minutes so that it will bond to the clear coat and use a microfiber applicator.

It depends on how thick you paint. The thicker the paint the longer the wait. Somewhere around 4 to 12 hours I would guess

It all depends on the temperature of the room you are working in and the surface area you are covering. I have found that 24 hours is typically enough time before applying a second coat. For a full cure time I usually wait 3 days.

I would say 400-450 and I would recommend 3 coats min. I did 2 and it was not enough. I had some additional work on my house after I finished the floor. The pros normally do 2-3 then come back after everyone is done and do an addition coat or two.

I believe the instructions indicate applying a coat every day for up to X days. If you use it with a polish at some point, it's applied as a top coat daily. It makes for a horrible base coat though.
