"Painting and Humidity" Topic

I am coming from an area of usually low humidity, under 30% typically. I have moved to the Midwest Kansas City area in particular. At what levels of humidity should I avoid primering? dullcoating? Any advice is welcome.

I would use a brush-on primer and final finishing.

This would avoid any humidity problems and your finishes will be consistent throughout the seasons.

Anything over 55% humidity is pushing it. link

You need to check the dew point as well.

Pffffttt! Artist's Gesso for priming: comes in gray, white, and black (don't use the clear…). I use either Pledge Floor Polish (clear acrylic -- paint carrier, minus the pigment), or The Dip (Minwax Polyshades Urethane Stain, satin finish, not gloss), to seal my paint work, followed by a dull-coat, if necessary. Cheers!

I haven't had primer problems. Spray varnish @ high humidities is the problem.
See if you can paint inside (no temperature worries) at a window fan set to exhaust, i.e. blowing out. Spread a lot of newspaper. Wrap a filter around the fan before you stick it in the window. link Do it when no-one else is at home.
On second thought, go with Jim Duncan or Sgt. Slag.

Thanks guys! I was worried mostly with finish coat since I really like the testors dullcote.
