dry time
Wait for hardening
Dry time is the period required for paint, adhesive, ink, or another applied substance to dry or cure.
Product labels specify dry time so users know when a surface can be touched or recoated: Allow two hours of dry time between coats.
Dry time varies with humidity, temperature, and ventilation.
