MSC drying times

I would wait atleast 10 minutes between each coat, maybe even up to half an hour just to be sure. I know it dries really quickly... but I suggest that just to be safe you give it 10-20 minutes between coats and up 30 minutes before painting.. again just to be safe.

And remember to wear a mask and spray in a well-ventilated area!

I'm glad this came up, because I'm spraying a blank head this morning, and had a couple questions. I've washed the head with mild soapy water (last night), so it's clean and dry. So...One, do I shake the can of MSC? I can't find anything on the can to indicate whether or not you need to. Two, do I need to hold the head up to spray it vertically, as opposed to it lying down (face up) and spraying down and across it? Three, should I wear gloves? You've already answered my 4th question, thank you!

Thank you very much!

 

Yes, shake the can. It has a little ball in it which you hear when you shake it, plus it is an aerosol can so yuo are supposed to shake it.

Personally I spray side to side, but vertically when going down the sides. I poise the head on the bottle of glue, which is heavy and won't fall over.

You should probably wear gloves IF you are holding the head instead of putting in on a holder of some kind.

Remember that it also depends on the environment you're spraying in - cold temperatures make drying times longer, humid/wet air will screw MSC up completely as it dries.

 

Wondering what you mean by this? I live in the Pacific Northwest and humid/wet weather is the climate most of the year. Just last night --raining-- I used MSC for a faceup (sprayed outside on covered patio). Don't notice anything negative as a result. Just wondering. Sure don't want to ruin anything. Thanks.
