How long does Cutek take to dry?
Cutek can take 72 hours to dry, and will take longer than ideal if the first coat hasn’t dried yet (yours didn’t), it’s cold (it is), and possibly if it was applied more thickly (which is more likely if the can is cold). If it’s damp then that also can hamper penetration.
How do you use Cutek?
Apply liberally to softwoods with brush, paint-pad, fabric mop, lambswool applicator or roller while removing drips and sags as necessary. Apply more sparingly to hardwoods – three thin coats on hardwoods are better than two heavy coats. The more Cutek Extreme product absorbed, the longer the coating will last.
