I can wetsand/buff out Testors gloss enamels or clear after overnight in the dehydrator (8-12 hours). I've done it many times with zero problems. Tamiya sprays are mild synthetic lacquers, they cure faster. Some gloss acrylics never dry, flats dry nicely. Some gloss acrylic finishes (Tamiya/Gunze/old Testors (not Acryl) are susceptible to damage from anything being in contact w/them for too long, in storage or shipping. I do not trust them at all after having it happen.

If you don't have a way to force dry enamels, it takes much longer to dry.
