Lucky2 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Woodduck, with vicious heat like that, it's a wonder that the spray can didn't explode in your hand. Your going to have to stockpile things, until you get cooler weather. Len woodduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry1939 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Woodduck, I have already done this: Store the wood & the spray can in the house for a few hours. Put the paint in your pocket, grab the wood & go to the workshop and spray. Our paint cans say "Recoat anytime". I put the paint back in the pocket and wait 10 minutes to re-spray. jerry WayneMahler and pete44 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
