GLOSSARY TERM
Wet-on-Wet
A painting technique where a second layer of paint is applied before the first layer has dried.
INFO
What it is
Wet-on-wet is a technique where a second coat is applied while the first is still wet, allowing the layers to merge. It can speed up application when the product allows it.
Why it matters
Done with suitable products and within the correct window, wet-on-wet saves time and can improve intercoat bonding. Done wrongly, it traps solvent or disturbs the first coat, so product guidance matters.
Where it is used on a project
Used with coatings designed for the technique, where speed and a well-merged film are wanted, following the manufacturer's recommendations.
How NECC approaches it
Where a product supports it, we use wet-on-wet application within the correct window to work efficiently while keeping the coating sound and well bonded.
