A timer can support the product's specified wet contact time, but it does not replace surface preparation or the rest of the label directions.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Instruction | Find the exact use and contact time. |
| Start | Begin at the relevant stage of the process. |
| Surface | Follow directions for maintaining the required condition. |

A practical example
Setting a timer while a surface dries too early may not complete the labeled process.
Before you decide
Measure the actual instructed step, not simply time since spraying.
