TK-7828 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Hello! Just painted the canister with humbrol. How long does it take for humbrol to dry so you can put it over belt. It says you can paint it over after 6 h...is that the same as i can touch it and use the canister without getting paint all over it? brgds Andreas Quote

You should be able to touch and handle it at the 6 hour mark. However the paint probably wont be fully cured for 24 - 48 hours so it may scuff if handled too roughly before then. Kris Quote
