Non-HDL cholesterol tells you all the bad cholesterol circulating in your blood - not just your LDL cholesterol. It is helpful to know your non-HDL cholesterol because your level of non-HDL may predict your risk of cardiovascular disease even better than your LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Moisture and Alkalinity. Too much moisture in new concrete can cause paint to bubble. It usually takes at least 30 days for moisture to dissipate enough for paint to adhere. You can test for moisture by taping a piece of foil to the surface, sealing all the edges with tape, and checking for condensation after 24 hours. If there is no condensation, the concrete is dry enough for painting. High alkaline levels also can stop paint from sticking to the concrete. It can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days for alkaline levels to drop enough for painting. Test the pH, and look for levels 9.0 and 10.0.
Report Abuse. I'm assuming you are using flat LATEX paint. I will also assume you've primed the walls before painting. if the above is true, the first coat will be dry in about two to four hours. DO NOT try to paint a second coat, right after the first coat! Wait two to four hours, and put your hand on the wall. Does it feel a bit damp? if so, wait until the next day! If not, then take a sanding pole, with 150 grid sanding paper, and very lightly and quickly sand the wall.
