Hi all!
Not having any experience about Mr. Surfacer, and having some difficulty in reading the label on it (it's written only in Japanese ) , can anybody tell me how long it takes for it to dry completely (before sanding) applied just OOB?
Thanks in advance for your time
Ciao

Hi Fabio,
The stuff dries fast to the touch, but if I plan on sanding it I usually wait an hour or so just to be on the safe side. Oh, and you can use laquer thinner to clean the brush with.

HTH,
Mike

Hi there Fabio. I have only used it once for the non-skid surface of my M1A1 project & it sure dries fast. I got the idea from Pawel (Vodnik) who did an article on this for non-skid surface. Maybe Pawel would know more about using the Mr. Surfacer 500.
