Agree with JohnDelNJ... in normal situations; however I used this product on a Bally Expressway and waited 6 weeks, due to the fact that I applied the last coat in the winter, and my basement temp is pretty much consistent at that time of year in the low to mid sixties. Normally if doing this work in spring/summer I wait about a month like the poster above... I find that it's about as good as Varathane, although be careful not to apply any topcoat in cold environments as it can cause serious issue when drying; I call it the alligator effect.
