• dry.Of course, this process is accelerated by using a hair dryer or any heating device.But better coverage is obtained if drying occurs naturally.Artificial acceleration can lead to cracking of the applied layer, even darkening of certain areas, if the thermal effect will be excessive.
• lacquered.
