I didn't even know it would say on the can what % was not okay, Thanks! It says 85% but it feels really moist outside so I think I'll just wait. Thursday should be nicer &amp; hopefully not super windy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-humidity#post-651647 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:02:07 +0000 blackbird 651647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no. check the label but you typically wouldn't want to paint if it's that humid. the paint can stay tacky and won't cure properly because the water will interrupt the process. at work, we don't allow painting operations at humidity that high. </p> <p>i had to stop dh from painting when it was raining and we had 95% humidity last weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-humidity#post-651640 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:00:04 +0000 runsyellowlites 651640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some candle sticks &amp; wood pieces on my list to spray paint for some DIY cake stands. Problems is for the last week it's been REALLY windy (20+ mph) and today the wind has finally died down but it's crazy humid (74%).</p> <p>I don't really have to get them done today as they're for P's birthday party 4/14 but we'll be moving at the end of the month &amp; I would like to just have to worry about unpacking &amp; getting the house in order prior to the party (I also have other diy projects to do in that time).</p> <p>Would you paint outside if it was humid out? </p>
