Painted PVC

[toddv89]

Trying to find out how long i should wait to put my painted pvc bakc in my aquarium. i used some krylon fusion and it applies very well to the pvc and looks nice but im just not sure how long to wait before i put it back in my aquarium?? 24hrs?? 2 weeks??

Dries in 15 minutes, cures in 30 minutes to an hour. I think it's on the can.
I would personally wait 12 to 24 hours before putting it in the tank.
HTH.

I have used fusion a lot in my tanks, I usually leave them out of water for a couple days, but I think one day would be fine.

thanks i figured at least 24 hours for it to cure but i wasnt sure if i needed to wait longer for some chemicals to evaporate or some thing like that. Just didnt want to mess any thing up you know

Yep. I definitely can understand that!

Count me in as a Fusion user. I'd wait at least 24 hours...48 if you can. VOCs can take a while to finish leaching out, depending on your weather conditions. But I've used it on PVC, foam.....even dry rock and resin, with no issues. If you spray it on foam, do it in very light layers, and fully cured foam.
