Easycare is a durable emulsion not a standard vinyl matt .
Durables don't like dry surfaces so easier to use a primer or sealer applied first allowing the resins to rest and settle Vs getting the water pulled out causing them to thicken up on surface.
Also durables can skin over and get a bit jelly like. If you back roll as it started to skin over then it can get like an orange peel effect.
Durable emulsions like to hang a little wet and not be messed with allowing them to dry smooth.
They also have much longer recoat times so maybe 6 hours vs 4 hours for a standard matt. Don't get back on too soon or you can liven up the first coat causing orange peel looking surface.
Cure =fully hardened. This could 24h to days for some.
Cure and recoat are not the same thing.
