Wet Paint

Most of the paint commonly available at hardware stores is wet paint. It is made from binder, pigment, filler and solvent. The solvent gives the paint the correct viscosity to allow it to be applied, and in many paints the solvent acts as an inhibitor. This allows the paint to cure only after the solvent has evaporated. Other types of paint cure upon contact with oxygen or the moisture in the air. Finally,two component paints behave similar to two component epoxy glue. This type of paint will not cure until it is readied for application by mixing the two components, one of which contains the catalyst.
