The Problem with Paint and Air Conditioning

The PW Asks: As people switch in the fall from running air conditioners to throwing open the windows, are there any effects on painting surfaces?

The Painter Says: There is no problem with throwing the windows open, rather, the problem is with air conditioned homes that are cooled to 65 degrees. A home can take an extra day or more to paint because the air conditioner must pull the moisture out of the air for the paint to dry. In the winter, paint dries well because the furnace blows dry heat into the home.
