I just painted a Subaru model with Testors #1814 (Hi-Gloss Clear) it looks great but needs some polishing, can it be compounded with Tamiya compund?

1 Month! Ugh, no way am I waiting that long! I know Testor Enamel has to cure for a while, I'll wait a week or so and try it on a small part of the body.

I did a test on Viper with Revell's mud-color enamel. I did some minor weathering on rear fenders. After a week the paint was still sticky. Enamels, especially Revell are curing for a long time. When we are talking about final clear coats I would agree with Vric. You really should wait for at least 3 weeks.

I agree completely.

Long drying times are what got me to modify a food dehydrator as a paint drier.
Works like a charm. I can polish out an enamel paint job after drying overnight. I can polish out a Tamiya TS paint job in a few hours. Works like a charm on primer, putty, decals. It should be part of any serious modeler's workbench. Wait a month for paint to dry? Me? Never! I'm too impatient.
