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.
Tip: Primers can be tinted at your local Home Depot store to closely match the color of your paint. Since primer is less expensive than paint, using a tinted primer can help you cut down on the number of paint coats needed and save you money. â¢ Start by painting the primer in 3â x 3â sections. Roll in one section at a time, moving from top to bottom and from one side of the wall to the other.
