Advice for painting with Frenchic in hot weather:

Too hot?
When the air temperature is very hot, the upper surface of the paint you have applied can dry too quickly. As well as potentially resulting in an uneven texture due to drag marks, this can impede the curing process of paint. That’s because the paint beneath dries slowly in comparison.

Another factor to consider in hot conditions is that the paint in the tin you are using will quickly be subject to moisture evaporation. This can cause it to separate in the short term but also thicken it, making it more difficult to apply smoothly. In addition, this can lead to colour variation.

To avoid evaporation from the tin, it’s good practice to decant a quantity of paint into a clean container as you need it (stir very thoroughly first!) and then reseal the tin. Don't leave the tin (or the temporary container) in the sun.

You should aim for a temperature below 32°C while painting, and for the following 48 hours.
