Gentlemen,

How long should one wait after spraying on a light coat of SIG Nitrate clear dope before spraying on a color KlassKote of color?

The first coat is a primer,
            sanded and
                  another light primer coat. 
Then a 75% thinned coat of SIG Nitrate clear dope?


Plan to spray a color KlassKote.

How long should I wait.


Thanks for your answers.

I waited 2-3 weeks, but it was easy because the weather was bad anyway.

Why the nitrate clear over the primer if you are going to use Klass-Kote epoxy over it?  Epoxy will go over primer just fine with good adhesion; the nitrate won't do anything for the finish & introduces possible intercoat adhesion problems due partly to the shrinkage of the dope film as it continues to dry (& dope will continue to dry & leach out plasticizers over the life of the finish.)  Just wondering.
