Italian term or phrase: appassire
This is from a painting manual for a famous Italian automaker. There must be a technical term used in the painting sector, but unfortunately I don't know it.

Context:

Applicare la seconda mano su tutto il pannello e lasciare appassire per almeno 30 minuti prima dell’applicazione del trasparente.

Thanks.
