How much time can elapse between applying the primer and the tape?
A. Generally the tape should be applied when the primer is completely dry. If properly applied, the primer drying time is generally 30 – 45 seconds. However, the exact time required will vary depending on the primer formulation. Drying time also varies by application thickness, temperature and humidity, and the presence of more or less solvent in the mixture. Consult the primer’s specification pages for expected drying times. Ideally, tape should be applied to a primed surface within one hour of priming. However, as long as the surface is kept free from dust and contamination, tape lamination can be delayed up to 24 hours. Q.
