Default Painting question

Doesn't the can say you're supposed to have the surface above 55

I'd expect the wall to still be cold from the overnight. I wouldn't risk
it since redoing it would be a royal pain. That "Wintery Mix" listed on
the NWS forecast for Thursday doesn't look paint friendly.

The wall faces east and will be plenty warm by the time I was ready to
shoot, but I agree, it might seriously be effected by Thursday night.
I'll just wait, "if you don't like the weather here wait 5 minutes."


I don't think you should have any problem w/ a latex as most are
rain-resistant in a couple hours or so. Again can should give you time
you need.

The front is on its way certainly -- still near 60 here, two places a
little ways to the north of us less than 50 mi apart were different by
over 25 F on the weather an hour ago. Don't think it will get to you
'til fairly late in the day anyway unless it speeds up significantly,
it's probably 300 mi from southern edge of it now down there.
