Just wondering what my curing time for KTM should be. Is 2 weeks sufficient? More or less? What is your experience?

Josh

yes - 2 weeks should be sufficient. When I have had the extra time, I have waited up to 3 weeks. I know that its suppose to cure much quicker than that, but thats not been my experience.

I don't have any experience with KTM, but Target's stuff, which supposedly is 'ready to buff' within 1 week, really likes to have at least twice that, and if you can give it more, that's a wise idea.

I have been using the Color Tone from StewMac and found that it needed at least 2 weeks. So I Guess I will leave the KTM for 2-3. Thanks guys that was helpful.
