        "text": "You should wait at least 24 to 48 hours after the final coat before using a shower or bath. While paint may feel dry to the touch within a couple of hours, it requires extended cure time before facing high steam and moisture. Exposing fresh paint to shower steam too early can cause surfactant leaching, water spotting, blistering, or peeling. Running the exhaust fan and keeping the room well-ventilated accelerates curing, but delaying shower use protects the new finish from permanent blemishes.",
