DRY TIMES
Dry times for all Flood Protection products (excluding Flood Tape) depend on temperature and
humidity. For example, if it’s cold outside, our products will take longer to dry than in warmer climates.
Dry time is also impacted by the thickness of coats applied. For this reason, we always recommend
that you use smooth, even coats — not too thick or too thin.
DRY TIME VS. CURE TIME
DRY TO THE TOUCH is the amount of time it takes for our products to form a skin on the surface and
be able to be touched without any material sticking to your nger. Each product must be dry to the
touch before an additional layer can be applied.
