Much like a bridge during the wintertime, air circulating around an object rather than just on top will change the speed with which things occur (the “thing” in this case is drying time). Try using a bucket to help speed up the drying time of the coating on your floor drain cover. Place the cover on top of an upside down bucket, coat the drain, and let it cure. This helps not only to get the drain out of the way of the rest of the work going on, but it also helps keep the drain away from any lower level dirt or dust that might contaminate the curing coating. Make that cover art!
