As the other poster said
>> The tarp will do a lot more harm than the rain.
IF it is in contact with the railing.....if it's just a rain shield &
air can circulate, it will help but high humidty make it difficult for
paint to dry
I've had oil base paint "dull out" just by having the dew settle on it
over night
now I never paint oild base As the other poster said within a few hours
of sundown if I expect the temp to drop below the dew point
I just found a new (old) paint that is not water base or solvent
base.....its 100% solids, linseed oil based but it is expensive...lays
down good like old style oil base
If you're painting on new wood, I would suggest you start out right &
give this stuff a shot.....
No, I'm not a rep or a sales person :) just a satisfied user
