Washing wood and priming primer
Hi guys,
Couple easy questions if anyone has time:
Getting ready to do the final bit of priming on the porch. Wood portion consists of bare PT lumber (not fresh but not gone gray either) and beadboard plywood, rest is previously painted concrete. Plan to wash everything down tonight or tomorrow. How long does it need to dry (assume good weather, mid 60s at night, mid 80s day) before priming?
Secondly, I primed the metal brackets on the lumber with Rustoleum aluminum and galvanized metal primer. When I prime the wood with Kilz Exterior oil-based primer should I cover the primed brackets again or try to avoid them? The rustoleum primer does say it can be topcoated with oil based paint.
Thanks much!

The wood needs to be good and dry. It is hard to say how long to dry as every location is different.
More sun and wind will dry quicker than shade with no wind. High humidity can also slow down drying time.
It doesn't matter if you reprime over the rustoleum primer although top coat coverage might be easier if you do.

More than likely. Sometimes 24 hrs is plenty of drying time but it could also take weeks
all depends on weather conditions.
