Too Hot To Paint ?
When is it too hot for exterior painting ? I mean for the paint itself, not my comfort. It is going up to 99 tomorrow here and I have very little prep left for this house.

Re: Too Hot To Paint ?
Like slickshift said most are about 90 but now days with all the acrylic in these products it'll get hard to work with at lower temps than that.

Re: Too Hot To Paint ?
I don't remember ever taking a day off because it was too hot. I just start on the sunny side in the AM, and then work in the shade when it heats up.
Might quit early though, but only because I'm a lazy old man. |
