This method blends the traditions of salting followed by air drying and smoking; many other foods from this region of the world also blend cooking techniques native to the Mediterranean and more Northern areas of Europe. Like other cured meats, speck is not cooked, but the curing process renders it safe to eat raw. The meat usually has a deep red to ruby color, with the fat being bright white.
Primers and paint require 14 days to cure fully. For best results avoid scratching, abrading or scraping until fully cured. Cure time will vary depending on temperature and humidity. Remove all tape immediately after priming and painting by scoring the tape edge with a knife to avoid peeling of your primer/paint film.
One thing to be aware that is not mentioned is let your base coat dry for atleast 24-48 hours before taping off any section. When you tape an area off and spray paint, once your paint is dry per the recommend directions, say 20 minutes, get that tape off. Often times, most folks will leave there tape on too long and it binds with the evaporating alcohol and binders and will pull up some off the base paint from time to time. Just some advice. Grouch
