  5. Allow the first coat to dry for approximately 45 minutes before lightly sanding, if desired.

  6. Let dry for 2 hours.

  7. For additional protection, lightly sand with 400-grit sandpaper between coats, remove all dust, and apply a second coat.

**Winter Shipping Advisory regarding DIY PAINT & PENTART**

DIY Paint and Pentart are water-based products that can be damaged if allowed to freeze. During the winter season, I am very selective in how and when I ship your orders containing these liquid and semi-solid products. 

If temperatures fall below freezing, and in order to ensure that your receive your products in good condition, these items will ship on Mondays through Wednesdays. Therefore, if you place an order on Thursday, it will not ship until Monday. If you have ordered other non paint products in the same order, your entire order will be shipped at the same time.

Route Protection is mandatory for the shipment of all PENTART, DIY Paint and Products.

In some cases, depending upon your location, you may be contacted for additional shipping when Priority Mail charges exceed standard shipping costs.

If the temperatures in your area are below freezing, you are fully responsible for bringing your package inside immediately upon delivery to avoid freezing.
