I have some dulux exterior paint, turps thinnable. If I use it today (when its not raining) and a shower comes on in the next hour will it ruin the paintwork, or just take longer to dry out?
(the scaffolders want the scaffold back, but I want to do another coat or 2 of paint first)
A solvent-based paint should be just sufficiently set in an hour to withstand light rain.
If rain is comming in an hour the air and surface may be to damp to paint, different paints cure at different rates is yours dry to the touch in 1 hr, one hour is a bit short for me.
Yes. If it rains in today's conditions, it might be brief but it'll be heavy.
Saturday is the next day I'd try painting.
maybe, more likely not. do it anyway, sounds worth the gamble

There are no grey clouds in sight, I've just done it, hoping the sun will dry it quickly...
