duncan_echo26 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Don't think so.Using a hairdryer will just make the paint run Its probably dry by now anyway haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukasMcNeal Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Generally it takes 20mins to be touch dry but seeing as it's a bash ring and it needs to be tough leave it overnight and it'll be alot stronger, also use laquer and lots of it.

craigjames Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Getting it warm in the first place would have helped, lots of thin coats, drying and warming with a hair dryer between coats. If the paint runs when using a hair dryer then you've applied too much paint in one go, which won't help with the paint drying properly and actually sticking to the bash ring. Hang it up in the airing cupboard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Put whatever you're painting in a small room and whack the heating on full blast. Stick a few electric heaters in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 i used a heat gun to dry the primer on my frame. Worked a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
