If you try to continue working the paint as is starts to dry, it can lead to an uneven textured finish. Let the paint dry for 1-2 hours, depending on the conditions and instruction on the tin.

A ready prepared piece of furniture – see our advice and video on how to prepare your furniture for painting. Always ensure you have enough paint for your whole project.
