Please define "wet on wet"

Keep seeing this term. Gonna start some projects soon and I want to make sure I'm clear on this. Thank you.

Tough one but usually means applying in a time period where you do not need to sand before.

Such as a 2K sealer instructions might say, shoot a coat and wait 30 minutes before base, that would be considered wet on wet.

Thank you Barry. I have seen posts that eluded to what you said but I just wanted to confirm.

This is a great question....around here, wet on wet is like shooting a door and turning around and shooting it again....

This was a great question and a help to a lot of people, you would be surprise at the number of calls i get where people think wet on wet means, spry the epoxy and then right away spray the primer.

I didn't mean to make light...I really thought wet on wet was 1 coat right on top of another....and I really DO think this a great question, and I really don't know what wet on wet means...please let the discussion continue

I know that and it had nothing to do with your statement that I thought was funny but people beat me to it!

My weakness is I can't do two things at once, so it took me that long, to realize how good the question was.

Wet on wet means you are relying on chemical adhesion for each subsequent coat to adhere, and it must be applied within the appropriate window of time. i.e. flash time between coats.

Spray then spray=wet on wet. You'll see some sealers advertized this way, spray the sealer, no flash time, then shoot your color.
