POTL
, n. People Of The Lie. Coined by Christian psychiatrist and theologian M. Scott Peck in his book The People of the Lie, which is, among other things, an examination of the nature of human evil. Peck quotes Martin Buber:
Since the primary motive of evil is disguise, one of the places evil people are most likely to be found is within the church.
Additional excerpts can be found here. "Utterly dedicated to preserving their self-image of perfection, they are unceasingly engaged in the effort to maintain the appearance of moral purity. They are acutely sensitive to social norms and what others might think of them. They seem to live lives that are above reproach. The words "image", "appearance" and "outwardly" are crucial to understanding the morality of 'the evil'. While they lack any motivation to be good, they intensely desire to appear good. Their goodness is all on a level of pretense. It is in effect a lie. Actually the lie is designed not so much to deceive others as to deceive themselves. We lie only when we are attempting to cover up something we know to be illicit. At one and the same time 'the evil' are aware of their evil and desperately trying to avoid the awareness." Peck's material, I feel, has great potential for analyzing and deconstructing the nature and behavior of the wing of the Republican party that has captured our government. With the caveats, that Peck raises, that evil is very dangerous to analyze--since we are, after all, all vulnerable to it.

Depends
If you want paint on your feet and footprints on your floor then yes, otherwise no.
Sorry about that, oil-based paints take forever to cure. Plus they are very tempermental between coats in terms of hand (and feet) oils.
Also, the more thinner you added the longer it will take since that has to volatilize off.

Good night and good riddance!

I'm not such a bad guy once you get to know me.
Maybe too late now to be helpful, sorry, busy castigating
You can walk on it if it’s dry.
Hope that helps.
Bare feet, not so good; body oils will impair the adhesion of the second coat. Nylon socks are best.
The sheen should change significantly when it dries enough to walk on, you have to lie down and look across it. If it still looks wet, it is.
How long to dry depends on temp and air circulation. Warm and plenty of air, you can walk on it - soft and gentle in nylon socks - after 12 hours or so. Cool and stagnant, could take a lot longer. Myself, I'd touch it in an out of the way place like along a wall just as you come into the room, and see what it feels like. If you leave a smudge, the second coat will cover it.
As to your other issue, best of luck with that. I'm sticking with squirrel recipes.
No. Wait 24 Hours.
I live in a house about to be two centuries old. I know of what I speak.
Oil base paints are usually a 3 day full cure
but it depends on the humidity how soon you can walk on it. I think Luigi's got the right answer,(24hrs.) but test it out before you prance around naked.See, us newbies are good for something. And we love you all. Cheers! (And gentle on the floor even though its dry for 3 days)
Ha!
Walked on it after 20 hours, no problem. Everything is good! Now to put on the final coating of Zinsser B-I-N-N-S primer!
