Phytatesâwhich are present in whole-grain breads, cereals, legumes, and other foodsâbind zinc and inhibit its absorption [2,12,13].

Like alkyds, oil-based enamels require six to eight hours to dry to the touch, and you should wait 16 hours or more between coats. Shellac Shellac is sometimes used in faux and special painting techniques.
Drying and Curing Times. Most latex paints feel dry within an hour or less after application in a room-temperature environment; you can typically apply a subsequent coat of paint in about four hours.

Humidity, ventilation and temperature all affect the time that latex paint takes to dry and cure.
