so when you paint can you use a heat gun to speed up the drying procss. or
will this weaken the paint?

I wouldn't use a heat gun, it gets too hot. A warm air flow would help
though, so maybe a small hair dryer, or deskfan blowing across the body .. I
certainly wouldn't aim the air flow directly at the paint .. ;)

G'Day Alec,

a heat gun would most likely melt the body....not the ideal solution to
accelerating the paint drying process.
You can use a hair dryer as long as you don't get it too close and don't use
the Hi heat setting. Also keep the dryer moving to dry the paint as evenly
as possibly. You might find you will need to experiment but be careful, too
much heat in one spot, or too high a temp and the paint will shrivel up and
look pretty shabby.

Regards,
Brad.
