As experience teaches, linseed oil paints require longer drying times than current synthetic enamels.

At +20 °C and 65 % relative humidity the product is recoatable after 24 hours.
Lower temperatures and higher humidity extend the drying time.
Protect the surface against mechanical stress/damage and gathering dust until the coating is fully dry.
Drying period: Up to 4 weeks, depending on conditions on site.
