How Long to Wait Before Restocking My Painted Bookshelves?

Asked By SunnySkyZ3 On

I just finished painting my family room bookshelves using Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel Interior/Exterior. I'm curious about how long I should wait before I can put my books back on to avoid any issues like sticking. Any advice would be appreciated!

I'd recommend waiting at least a week if the indoor humidity is over 50%. Humidity can really affect how paint dries and cures, which is important to get it right. If you really need to put the books back sooner, consider placing some wax paper or paraffin paper down first to protect them.
