Re: Questions about Dry Booth

Re: Questions about Dry Booth

I'm using one at my shop and it speeds up the time in drying the painted parts, and since its also like an ionizer of sorts, it keeps dust out and away so parts remain dust free if kept in there. It was a pricey piece of equipment like all GSI Creos Gunze Mr.Hobby stuff, but its been good to me so far.

Re: Questions about Dry Booth

DO a search for 'food dehydrator', this whole subject has been covered here before and I am certain you'll find more than just the time question answered in the threads that come up.

Questions about Dry Booth?

Is this a real difficult question, seems no one have the answer for how much time should i use. I am asking this because the manual is all in japenese. I always use Tamiya spray can.

Thanks

Re: Questions about Dry Booth

A food dehydrator can be used as a drying booth if you set it up correctly.

The dehydrator has been around longer than the dry booth and has been used by modelers longer to cure paint faster, there have been threads discussing both previously.

We can't help it if you won't search for the info.
