Drying time between coats of Dulux Matt Emulsion Paint?

Hi - We have been painting previously painted wallpaper allowing 4 hours drying time between coats. A friend only leaves one hour between coats to save time, but I am worried this would harm the finish of the paint . Does anyone know the effect of leaving inadequate drying time please?Drying time between coats of Dulux Matt Emulsion Paint?
1 hour is not enough. if the can says 4 hours then that is what you should do. most of the time i leave till the next day. if you do not allow ample drying time when you paint the next coat it could slightly lift the previous coat also you will not get nearly as good coverage and you will use more paint when the previous coat is not properly dry. always read and follow the instructions on the can they are there for a reason.Drying time between coats of Dulux Matt Emulsion Paint?
Under normal circumstances you will just be putting two coats of emulsion on in total. On water based emulsion putting a second coat after the first has been touch dry for an hour will be ok. But any further coats will need the full 2-4 hours recommended for emulsion. If you were to keep applying coats then you would get a poor texture in your finish.





I left a job once where the contractor expected me to paper and paint one wall the same day. Emulsioning over wet paper was not unusual for them. And they had been doing it longer than me.
I do it all the time for speed...sometimes if the room is cold and damp I have to wait...but usually it`s fine...
1 hour will do, it dont harm it
Just turn your heating up so it drys quicker!
It'll tell you on the tin
