Ensure Proper Drying and Avoid Premature Second Coats

What happens here

If you are applying a second coat of paint, it is crucial to ensure the first coat is completely dry. Applying a second coat too soon, especially if the first is only half-dry, can cause the paint to coagulate or 'stipple' badly. This will result in an uneven, unprofessional texture. Always check the paint manufacturer's recommended drying times and ensure the surface is dry to the touch before proceeding.

Goal: Prevent paint coagulation and stippling by allowing adequate drying time
