Question about curing a Deft finish.

Ironwolf · June 29th, 2008, 09:44 AM

Hey guys. I'm putting the last coats of Deft on my 12 string today or tomorrow. I'll be letting it hang in my garage, where the temperatures exceed 100 degrees (humidity under 20%) at least 12 hours a day. Will a week in those conditions be sufficient cure time before polishing and buffing? I'd really like to finish it before my vacation is over.

Oh yeah, I think that is plenty of time. I've gone as short as 2 days with glossy results.
Oh, you know the rule about pictures here...

I agree that that should be sufficient time.

Thanks gents. I thought it would be long enough, but I wasn't sure.
