How to make Flex Paste cure faster?
While Flex Paste naturally cures over time as it’s exposed to air, there are a few simple ways to help speed up the process—especially when time is a factor.
Standard Cure Time
Flex Paste typically begins to skin over in about 15 to 30 minutes and fully cures within 24–48 hours, depending on thickness, temperature, and humidity.
Tips to Speed Up Curing
- Apply in thin layers – The thinner the application, the faster the cure.
- Increase airflow – Use fans to circulate air around the surface.
- Raise the temperature – Warmer environments (ideally 70°F–90°F) help Flex Paste cure faster.
- Reduce humidity – Lower humidity levels (40–60%) support faster drying.
- Avoid excess product buildup – Don’t overapply if faster curing is important.
What Not to Do
- Don’t use heat guns, blowtorches, or hairdryers—this can cause bubbling or uneven curing.
- Avoid sealing Flex Paste in enclosed spaces with no airflow, which can delay the curing process.
Flexpert Tip: For faster setup in layered applications, let each layer cure partially before applying the next one. This helps prevent tackiness and ensures long-term adhesion.
