Waiting for paint to cure
I just finished painting a bathroom and need to reinstall the fixtures
and stuff I took down. Of particular concern is the shower curtain rod. I know the rubber ends will stick to the paint if the paint hasn't cured enough. Is there any way to expedite the curing process? Would a heat gun do the trick? - les |

ups.com... I just finished painting a bathroom and need to reinstall the fixtures and stuff I took down. Of particular concern is the shower curtain rod. I know the rubber ends will stick to the paint if the paint hasn't cured enough. Is there any way to expedite the curing process? Would a heat gun do the trick? - les No, a heat gun is not a good idea. When did you paint? How many hours ago? Is it too warm where you live to turn the heat on a bit to lower the humidity in the house? Add a fan, and you can help speed things up. On the can of paint you used, what curing time is suggested? |

Not really. Just plan on taking baths instead of showers for the next two weeks. |

After a month, remove the wax squares and apply a thin coat of oil (or Vaseline) to the wall where the rubber ends touch. Paint takes about a month to fully cure and harden. |
