What does RECOAT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To apply a fresh coat of paint, varnish, or similar finish over an existing one.
To recoat a surface means adding another layer of paint, varnish, or similar finish on top of one that has already dried or worn thin, rather than stripping it back to bare material first. Painters and decorators recoat walls, furniture, and woodwork to refresh their appearance or to protect them once the earlier coat has faded. Manufacturers of paint and varnish usually specify how long to wait before it is safe to recoat a surface.
