        "text": "The drying time for siding primer varies based on the product type, temperature, and humidity levels. Generally, most latex primers are dry to the touch within 1-4 hours, but they require 2-12 hours of cure time before a topcoat can be applied. Oil-based primers often take longer, sometimes 6-24 hours to dry sufficiently for recoating. Always refer to the specific manufacturer's instructions on the primer can for accurate drying and recoating times. Painting too soon can lead to adhesion issues or an uneven finish.",
