I used x-o rust on my interior, it does take several days to harden but it's nice once it does. You'll probably need some more time because you oversprayed it.

yeah its been going now for a 5 days...i am going to start to introduce the heater at night for 2-3 days and dehumidify with heat for a following 2-3 days....that should do it in

the problem i had with it was it rippled overnight with the temperature difference.....it smoothed out alot when the day heated up...i should have rolled it into the garage that night and put the heat on

ohh well ...in 10-15 years maybe i'll try that
