Skimming in Burgh Hill FAQs
A skim coat typically needs 3 to 5 days to fully dry in normal conditions before it is ready for paint, though this varies with room temperature, ventilation, and the thickness applied. Painting too early traps moisture under the paint film and causes bubbling or discolouration later.
