I added a coat to my Summer wheels in my garage yesterday. The temperatures were around 55 but it there were downpour rains all day and most of the night. Do you think I need to let my wheels "cure" longer than 24 hours before I add my second coat of WDGPS. (not building the product, just want to ensure everything is covered). I will be adding my wheels to my car on Thursday.
•Yes, moisture affects Sealants' totalQuote:

•The above notwithstanding...IMO:

cure-time under these circumstances...
without also knowing the Dewpoint during
the same time period.
-(Dewpoint is the quantity of moisture
in the air; "relative" Humidity is how close,
in %'s, the air is to saturation)
•Just to note:
-The relative humidity may not always be 100%
during a rain event: it takes time, and lots of
evaporation, to saturate air that previously had
a low relative humidity of, say 50%, for example.
•To err on the side of caution:
-24 hours is a relatively safe
time period for the majority
of Sealants' total cure time...IMO.
