After buying Pittsburgh Ultra alkyd primer for exterior wood I noticed it recommends 77 degree F and 24 hours drying time. Im painting inbetween my garage door gaps & need a primer which will dry fast in cool Iowa weather so I can close the door at night.

Which primer will dry fast in cool weather?

Thanks

I don't know of any alkyd primer that dries fast in low temps. If its painted first thing in the morning, and you wait until late evening to close the door, it might be OK
