TIL waiting on primer prevents paint failure

I always painted right after primer to save hours. After a job came back with peeling, I now give it a full day. What's your go-to dry time for primer?

Why waste a whole day waiting for primer to dry? I've painted right after priming many times and never had paint peel. That peeling job sounds more like a problem with surface prep or using cheap paint. Most primer cans say you can topcoat in a few hours. A full day is just overkill unless you're painting in a rainy basement.

Can we just paint right after like @blake_wells?

Ugh, learned the hard way to wait longer than the can says.
