Applying coatings isn’t just about choosing the right product—it’s also about timing and conditions. Weather plays a critical role in how sealers and coatings perform during and after application. High humidity, extreme temperatures, or unexpected rain can all impact adhesion, drying time, and long-term durability. For example, applying a sealer on a surface that is still damp from morning dew can trap moisture beneath the coating, leading to clouding or premature failure. On the other hand, working in excessive heat can cause coatings to dry too quickly, reducing penetration and leaving surfaces uneven.

At INSECO INC., we advise customers to always consider environmental factors before starting their projects. Our specialty coatings are engineered for maximum performance, but achieving optimal results means applying them under the right conditions. A simple best practice is to apply coatings during moderate temperatures—generally between 50°F and 85°F—when surfaces are dry and the forecast calls for at least 24 hours without rain. Taking weather into account ensures not only a smoother application but also enhances the protective and aesthetic qualities of your INSECO product. By combining the right product with the right conditions, you set your project up for lasting success.
