ChadT You are right and wrong. You are definitely right on me being impatient. If I would have waited a full 24 hours I wouldn't have jumped the gun. However, the one side did come out pretty bad and was rough so that was the only side I sanded down. it's weird that the other two looked decent. |
| ChadTower:
It's common for 24 hours to not be even close to a full cure time, if that helps. It's a good recoat time, yes, but curing is longer than that. |

I'm right there with you all on the cure time. I'm spraying latex paint and added some Floetrol to thin it out. MAN, that stuff takes a long time to cure. I waited a full week before sanding, and it still wasn't ready to sand. I'm sure the additive had something to do with it, but still... |

i had similar problems to what you are describiing. what i do now is just put the brush and rollers aside and use a spray gun. i have a cheapo china made auto paint gun from harbor freight ($20) and spray thinned down rustoleum oil based paint. it is much easier than working with rollers and brushes and the paint lays down really nicely. i already had an air compressor so all i needed to purchase was the gun. try spraying the paint on- you'll be much happier with the results. |

How can you tell when the paint is ready to be sanded? I know I took a 300 fine block of sand paper to the good side and it appeared to bubble a bit so I stopped. |
