If it takes a week to cure, it really must have been very sick.

1 week to cure - Per instructions on the product.
The final 2 coats applied exactly 15 minutes apart as the first one was "flashing" at the 15 minute mark.
My brother does art restoration (4 years of college for it) He said that enamel takes a LOT longer than you think to cure. About 1 week.

Sign up? Not hardly. "My help" would hardly be constructive (as far as they're concerned). Along that line of thinking, that "help" aka cutting through all their "practical" BS, would result in them almost ceasing to exist. But I bet they'll take me right in, lol. I'll have no part of it.
I'm anticipating the "be the change you want to see in the world", type quotes coming...
Are you defending the NFPA? Just curious...as that usually speaks volumes in itself.
Most people who whine, complain, gripe, kvetch and bitch about NFPA haven't a clue about what they do. They see a recommendation or two and how it will affect the FD and go off the deep end.
Are some of their recommendations over the top? Sure.
Are some of them necessary? Absolutely.
Are some of them an unnecessary burden? Absolutely.
NFPA is a lot like a wife/husband/lover/significant other. There are things about them that you love, things about them you hate, things you would like to get from them and things that you don't give a fat rat's rump over."The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."

Ok, I have a cow. I love it, and it's been painted numerous different colors over the years. But for the love of Jebas, how many threads do we need? Are people going to ask the proper way of wiping next? I mean no offense to the OP, but c'mon. This isn't a popular vote, nor is it twitter. If you have a question about what your chief will think, where do you think the best place to get an answer from is? Your chief. I really hate sounding like this as I love to share info and what knowledge I think I have, and I apologize if you feel it is warrented for me to do so. But its almost as bad as the Blue light threads. Now that I'm done venting, who wants cake?Matt G.

2. Anyone can say they have 30, 40, even 50 years or more of experience doing anything. Watch: I've been a orthopedic surgeon for 45 years. See how easy that was? When it comes to believing A) the manufacturer's instructions/directions, or B) following the advice of someone on the internet who claims to know what he's talking about because he's been doing something that's slightly similar for 30 years, it's much more intelligent to choose Option A. Sorry, no disrespect is intended, but that's a fact.
3. Not all paints are the same. Do you know exactly what kind of paint he was talking about? I don't recall seeing him say what brand he was using. Remember, I've been an orthopedic surgeon for 45 years, so I'm sure you wouldn't mind me operating on your brain, right? Surgery is surgery, right?
Bottom line: Feel free to offer all the help, suggestions, tips, etc., that you feel qualified to provide. But don't get all hot under the collar when someone points out the obvious fact that following the manufacturer's instructions is generally a smarter idea than taking random advice found on the internet from people one doesn't know and doesn't have any real idea if they actually know what they're talking about or not.-Justin J.
