Re: Food Dehydrator
There is no hard and fast temperature and time, it varies from subject to subject and your ambient conditions. Keep it below 110 and use the same temperature for everything. It's not like it's going to turn to dust when it's been in there longer than expected. While Tamiya TS paints can be dry and polished in as little as a couple hours (Testors lacquers are even faster), it's really best to wait overnight to make sure it's completely cured. Same for enamels, they really need a good 12+ hours to cure before working with them. Enamel may feel slightly "sticky" when it comes out of the dehydrator from the temperature, let it cool a bit and it's fine. The smell test also works; if you can smell the paint, it's still not cured. Sometimes paint isn't cured all the way through, but you can still polish it out if you are careful.
Acrylic flat paint, metalizers, alclad all dry remarkably fast. Sometimes they're able to be handled in minutes.
