Applying the cp overlay after paint: how long to wait?

<< < (4/6) > >>

Ginsu Victim:
After I wrote it, I knew it was weak, but I left it up anyway.

miles2912:
The whole let the paint dry thing is so that you do not develop gas under your vinyl artwork.  It also lets the art stick to a surface as opposed to bare wood.

I let mine dry for a week, but was waiting on the artwork.  I would imagine that humidity and air flow/circulation would make a big difference here.  But a few days should do it.

TheShanMan:
Just a reminder to those who have missed this point: my panel is sheet metal.

I've decided not to do it tonight, meaning it will be at least 48 hours, and I'm still leaning towards Friday night or Saturday Morning (3 or 3 1/2 days).

I'd like to ask again: Will putting my CP out in the sun in upper 90's, low humidity weather speed the curing?

WunderCade:
Yes, if the humidity is low it will help.

Blanka:
Just wait a whole week. Then the paint is really tough. How many weeks are in the cab up till now? Guess one more is no problem? And for use you need the whole cab to have hardened out, not only the part under the CPO.
