    WDGPS 3.0 Cure in super humid enviroment

    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' total
    cure time(s), as well as their polymers
    cross-linking abilities.

    •The above notwithstanding...IMO:
    -It'd be difficult to pinpoint an actual total
    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.
