- Finishing: Allow 4-6 hours drying time. Apply the second coat for maximum protection and the desired finish depth. Tips for painting in high humidity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: No, it is a fortified emulsion paint designed to resist mild moisture and peeling. For structural leaks or severe dampness, a specialized waterproofing base coat (like Dr. Fixit) must be used first.
Q: Does it have a strong smell?
A: No, as a water-based product, it has very low odor compared to solvent-based paints, making it comfortable for indoor use.
Q: Can I use this on exterior walls?
A: While designed primarily for interiors, it can provide decent protection for covered exterior areas, but dedicated exterior emulsions are recommended for full weather exposure.
