What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives both a 12-hour full-cure time and a separate 24-hour dry time, without explaining how these conditions differ. Its interior/exterior use field conflicts with an indoor-usage field, while glass is the only listed surface recommendation. Treat these as unconfirmed listing details rather than established product limitations. The advertised faster drying is described as about 50 percent in the product text, but no specific working conditions are supplied.
