Once mixed, let the paint sit for about 30 minutes which is the required time that the hardeners take to work in most cases. You can add any of these items between the layers for faster drying of the paint before throwing away. Thus, the faster the hardener, the less time we havefrom the time we prepare the mixture until we can apply it securely. Lastly, it binds solvents and resins in the coating so minor blemishes can be blended out during application.
