Should the temperature be much lower or the humidity much higher, the curing of this product could take much much longer. While it dries to the touch quickly, full cure can take up to two weeks when conditions are other than normal. \u003cb\u003eNOTE: must dry 24 hours before applying top coats.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNOTE: This primer should not be used over wood with tannins that will bleed through such as cedar, pine, or other oily woods.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBecause it has an extremely tight and efficient polymer network, AFM Transitional Primer can be used as a sealer on some, but not all, surfaces that are off-gassing hazardous air pollutants.
