Can I apply ceramic coating in high humidity?
Humidity affects how quickly many coatings flash and cure, so high humidity can shorten or lengthen the working window depending on the chemistry. Very humid conditions also increase the risk of condensation and streaking. Check the temperature and humidity range given by the manufacturer, work in smaller sections, test flashing time on one panel first and avoid applying when the paint surface is at or near its dew point.
