Default ROD BUILDING?

How long does the Flex-Coat take to dry?


It gets pretty stiff after 30 minutes or so, but it will still
feel tacky for several hours.

Useful gluing, painting, and varnishing tip: Put a dab of
your glue (or paint or varnish) on a piece of scrap, and then
when you get the urge to touch something to see if it has
dried yet, touch the scrap, so you don't leave a permanent
fingerprint on your project.


It probably shouldn't be necessary to add, but.......

Be sure the scrap piece is the same material.....or, at least as similar as
possible. Paint, glue, varnish, etc., will not behave the same on a piece
of scrap cardboard or even bare wood as they will on something that has
already been sealed with a previous coat of whatever or that is inherently
non-porous.

fingers, hair, upholstery, lips, pets and clothing are generally also
unsuitable.....albeit for somewhat different reasons.
