Im wondering if any of you guys & gals can give me a tip or two on how to speed up the drying time (no prizes for guessing why !?!) for Tamiya clear coat. Im also wondering if 5-7 days of natural drying time would be enough before letting loose with the compound, waxes etc.

Thanks, Mike :sunglasse

Put it in the carboard where your hotwater cylinder is.

Cheers for that Jay, i had done a search earlier but as that particular thread was 100% food dehydrators i thought i'd start a new one for other tips.

Thanks again, Mike :sunglasse

I usually do 7 days minimum. Never less.

That's 7 days of ambient drying.

Thanks for the answers. I usually do at least 3 weeks with most models but i really want this finished before a certain deadline. Guess its going next to the hot water cylinder for a few days as i dont own a food dehydrator thingy !!!

Food Dehydrators seem to be few and far between in the UK and at a price of 200 Pounds ($385) I think I'lll stick with the Boiler Housing for a few days.
