| | The VHT wrinkle plus went on gloss (very gloss) with at least 3 coats at varying angles and given a couple of hours for the paint to set. \\ |

| | For those using the VHT wrinkle paint, it takes a while to cure. \\ |
| | It's very durable once it does finally finish gassing out. \\ |
| | After about an hour in the oven, (this would be about 2 to 2-1/2 hours after first spray) a dental tool was used to remove the masking. \\ |
| | This seemed to be a good time to pull tape very easily using the flat blade tool designed not to hurt enamel. \\ |
