I can't take this any more! An incandescent bulb can be just as dangerous as an oven to the plastic. My experience with acrylic paints is that they dry very rapidly ALL BY THEMSELVES (usually right inside the %$#@# airbrush <G>). Denny - I'm not sure what the rush is, but most of my models are ready for the second coat in 15 minutes or less. If you really want to make that faster, use a hair dryer, set on low... but again, heat is dangerous!! There is no need for a "heat cure" with an acrylic paint. If your acrylic painted models are taking longer to dry, you are most likely using too much paint. Multiple light coats is the cure. Regards Bruce Bruce F.
