Dry, Cure, and Unmask

What happens here

After applying the final coat of paint, allow the pool slide to dry and cure completely. Drying time is when the paint is dry to the touch, but curing time is when the paint has fully hardened and reached its maximum durability. This process can take several days to a week or more, depending on the type of paint used and environmental conditions. Refer to the paint manufacturer's instructions for exact drying and full cure times before allowing any use of the slide. Once the paint is dry to the touch, carefully remove all masking paper and painter's tape to reveal the newly painted slide. Remove tape slowly at a 45-degree angle to prevent peeling the fresh paint.

Goal: Allow paint to fully harden and reveal the finished slide
