Iron Gates

[postman44]

How long does it take for paint to dry on iron gates please

[sandra4444]

Depends on the paint your using really. But Hammerite paint normally dries pretty quick.

A good guide would be in damp cold conditions a long time. Warm dry sunny day in no time at all.

From the Hammerite website:
"Allow 4 hours between coats.
Touch dry in 2 hours, recoat after 4 hours."

Mailin20; It's good to have you here. What is your first language?

The winner, I was interested in his/her background. It must be difficult to engage with English speakers if your English is not too good. I have been on Francophone sites and can muddle through, but they always know that I am not a Francophone.

It was posted by the postman44 - given the recent performance of the Royal Snail-Mail, four days should be more than sufficient.

[Atheist]

DTC; wrong thread? Or am I just slow on the uptake? If so, perhaps you could explain?

[DTCwordfan]

How often do you get postie deliveries - 4 or 5 days is the norm here now.

[Atheist]

DTC; every day. But I still think you are off-thread. What's yiour posr got to do with painting iron gates?

[TheWinner]

ha, ha.

[DTCwordfan]

you paint the gates after the PO van has just been, knowing that you have circa 4 days for them to dry before the next Royal snail mail delivery, if you are lucky - all very logical out here in the green and beautiful hinterland known as the English countryside.

I'm slowly beginning to understand your answers. I was trying to be helpful, but it seems that elliptic responses are considered more fashionable. I'll continue on my naive route. Thanks to you for patiently pointing out the way you work. :-)
