Speeding drying up paint on model cars

[modelcarfan]

I have learned from an article so long time ago that some guys bought food dehydrator and remove all the inside to make room for model car parts or body to speed up drying parts.

I have just put out one and am doing a big risky thing with that because I m working on an old model car and am painting the kit there. I have no time waiting to dry up the paint so I have had that dehydrator for long time and decided to try it.

Have you all had tried one yourselves... or maybe you did not think of that technique yet?

Let me hear your comments .

Brian I've not yet ran into a situation to need a dehydrator ... My guess is when I finally run out of lacquer paints that I may then find myself needing one... I think , in my humble opinion, that If someone is a rattle can kind of guy and use enamel aerosol's or water based paints then from what I here they are quite useful... Sorry I can't interject more on the subject buddy.. As Bill said this has been covered in the last 5 months and not long ago the different types of dehydrators as well ..

Been using a dehydrator for 15 years now and never had any issues. Mine is a cheap $9 unit I bought at Big Lots. I use it on enamel and lacquer paints and I use about 90% lacquers. It dries my paint in under an hour and makes it ready to decal or foil asap. Can't work without one now.
