How long should Stix primer dry before sanding?

3-4 days
When I’ve used Stix, I’ve usually waited around two hours before using a fine sanding sponge to smooth down the prime coat and that has been a perfect amount of time before sanding. For a full cure, 3-4 days is needed at low humidity. In higher humidity, an extra couple of days may be needed.
