Basically, how long do you need to let the texture paint dry before sealing it with dullcoat? 24 hours? 48 hours? Maybe less?

Specifically, I'm using Martian Ironearth, but this could apply to Agrellan Earth or any of the others in the line.

Generally, I give my texture paints about 24 hours to dry before doing anything else to them.

It usually takes at least overnight or so for the full effect to appear anyway, although you can accelerate it with heat.. once all the cracks are there you should be good to go.

Thanks for the replies. 24 hours is my usual default for sealing, so I'll use that next time. As it happens, since I was waiting for replies, it has effectively gone to 48 hours plus, since spraying the matte coat will have to wait until morning.
