    Ok so was planning on doing this this weekend but they are calling for scattered showers for the next 5 day or so. What would be the shortest time for it to dry before I would have to worry about rain causing a problem. Or at least best guess.

    Bottle's indicated dry time (20 minutes)....LIES!!..

    In my opinion, you shouldn't TOUCH the cladding for at least 24 hours after you put on the first coat.

    Best of luck.

    Can you rephrase that?

    in my opinion, you shouldnt expose your cladding to anything but dry air for 24 hours. Again, this is my opinion.

    I was trying to say if it is not going to rain in the next 30 minutes I would be safe to apply the dye. From your above statement I think I will wait till this weather blows over.

    Yeah, if I would say patience is the one thing I learned from applying this dye.

    It looks just fantastic though.

    I agree....wait until you have many days of clear weather. Mfg told me it dries a little slower in humid weather........ my humidity is only around 12%...and it still took at LEAST 6-8 hrs before it dried (and recall I said it keeps changing in appearance for at least a few hrs so it must be still "drying".


    WOW! Yours looks fantastic JAMAS! .......um, oh wait, you didn't post any pics yet.......

    ha! You're probably right. But its been drying for a couple weeks so I think another shot wouldn't hurt.

    Don't make us send Grif up there to smack you and take away your sprayer and dye! ......'course if you'd ever post pics we'd see how it looks, then we might not have to send in the heat to control you!
