HomeFront paint does not typically require sealing or special curing for standard decorative projects. Once the paint has dried completely, your project can usually be used as-is. For added durability, a clear sealer is recommended when using HomeFront Satin if the item will be handled frequently, exposed to moisture, or painted on a hard or slick surface that may cause scratching or chipping. HomeFront Gloss is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a good choice for projects that need a more durable, weather-resistant finish. No baking or heat-curing is needed unless specifically stated on the product label. For best results, allow the painted surface to dry fully before use, and wait at least 48 hours before heavy handling.
