Hello
I did not wait 24 hours to apply the satin varnish after the pigment colour renovation , but only 4 hours after the paint had dried
what are the risks ?? it seems to me that the varnish takes a very long time to dry ....
thank you for your reply
In principle, and at this time of year, applying the varnish after 4 hours should not cause any problem.
You say that the varnish is slow to dry. At this stage, you need to wait a further 24 hours (maximum). Please also check whether this is happening all over or only in places...
If the varnish is dry in some places, it is very likely that the problem comes from the preparation of the leather, even before the recolouring. We will go into this in detail if that is your case.
OK, thank you
as I am on Reunion Island, our temperatures are high and it dries quickly, and indeed 24 hours later it is better, I can feel that the varnish is much drier
however, for the Mini Cooper seats, I should have chosen the matt varnish instead of the satin because on the rear seats it is much more matt
but really great products !!
Thank you for your feedback.
You can still apply matt varnish over the satin varnish. It is the same product, so you will not have any compatibility problem.
Hello
I reordered an anti-UV MATT varnish and received it safely.
I wiped the old (satin) varnish with acetone and sanded it, but the seat is still quite sticky
Instead of kitchen paper, would a microfibre cloth soaked in acetone be more effective?
Before going any further, thank you for your advice
Kind regards
