Q: I recently bought 8 gallons of epoxy paint from you. I know that the cure time, and the time required before you can fill the pool, depends on the temperature. I plan to let the paint cure for 5 days. I know it would be best to have 5 consecutive rain free days. In my area, rain seems to be in the forecast for the next two weeks. I had rather not wait two weeks, or longer, for the weather to be rain free. Would it be okay if the paint cured for a day or two, and then got rained on? If that would not be okay, would it be okay after painting, if I covered the pool with plastic for the 5 day cure time?
