Drying and Recoat Timing Áætlunner Verkfæri

Q: "Which temperature unit should I use, °C or °F?"

"Use the unit used by the site and the data sheet. Switching units converts the values."

Q: "The data sheet is based on 25°C / 77°F. Can I enter 20°C instead?"

"No. Enter the reference temperature exactly as stated in the data sheet."

Q: "What if the vara does not list a latest recoat guideline?"

"Enter the same value as the minimum or leave it blank. Missing values are shown as partial niðurstaðas."

Q: "Can humidity be considered too?"

"Not in this initial version. Humidity is handled only as a caution note."

Q: "Can I reproduce the same inntaks from a shared URL?"

"Yes. It restores the verkefni name, temperature conditions, rows, and settings."

Q: "Can I use the PDF directly in a proposal?"

"Yes. The proposal layout is designed for print/PDF úttak."

Adjust data-sheet timings to site temperature and organize the áætlun for proposals.

Adjust data-sheet timings to site temperature and show earliest recoat, latest recoat guideline, and masking completion in one place.

Use °C / °F, and export a proposal-ready PDF from the same skjár.

How to use

Choose the temperature unit and basis, then enter the site temperature.
Enter reference temperature, earliest recoat, latest recoat, and masking completion for each vara.
Optionally add the application start time and yfirferð the áætlun timestamps.
Yfirferð the niðurstaðas, then copy, share the URL, or export PDF.

Sample

Viewing a 20°C primer at 30°C

Inntak

Verkefni: Exterior repaint / Site temp: 30°C / Reference temp: 20°C / Q10: 2.0 / Primer: 4-8h, masking 6h

Úttak

Temperature factor 0.50, earliest recoat 2h, latest recoat 4h, masking complete 3h

Viewing a 77°F top coat at 59°F

Inntak

Verkefni: Shopfront repaint / Site temp: 59°F / Reference: 77°F / Q10: 2.0 / Top coat: 8-24h, masking 12h

Úttak

Temperature factor 2.00, earliest recoat 16h, latest recoat 48h, masking complete 24h

Glossary

Reference temperature: The temperature at which the data-sheet timing was specified.
Q10: The time-change multiplier for a 10°C shift. With 2.0, a 10°C drop roughly doubles the time and a 10°C rise roughly halves it.
Earliest recoat: The earliest recommended time to apply the next coat.
Latest recoat guideline: The upper end of the recoat window. If exceeded, surface preparation may be required.
Masking completion: The estimated time when protection or masking can be completed.

Formulas

temperatureFactor = Q10 ^ ((referenceTempC - siteTempC) / 10)
adjustedMinutes = referenceMinutes × temperatureFactor
targetTime = startTime + adjustedMinutes
Safe rounding: round earliest up, latest down, masking up

Notice (approximation only)

This is an estimate. Always prioritize the vara data sheet and site conditions.
Humidity, ventilation, film thickness, substrate temperature, sunlight, wind, and mix ratio are not modeled precisely here.
If the reference temperature or basis differs from the data sheet, match the same basis before entering values.
The meaning of a recoat deadline varies by vara. Check whether prep is required after the window closes.
