How much time do I have to blend the paint before it becomes too dry?Updated 6 months ago

The period during which the paint remains wet and workable after application is referred to as the 'open time'. House of Hackney paint typically has an open time of 4-8 minutes before it begins to tack off (becomes tacky to the touch).

It’s important to note that in warmer conditions or climates, the open time may be reduced, and the paint will also dry faster on walls that have been plastered within the last two years, as these are still considered new plaster.

During the open time, you can blend areas without the paint drying too quickly, so it's essential to work within this time frame for the best results.
