I also have had some paint problems, the gloss paint has been taking a long, long, long time to dry. I pretty sure it was operator error.

Hi there.

How's the humidity where you are painting? High humidity can really slow down the drying of paint. I hope you don't have bad paint.

Cheers from Peter

Hiya Sherman.

It is looking nice. And as far as slow drying time, you could speed it up a little bit by putting the pieces in a box with a low watt light bulb. About 40 watts is good. It helps to dehumidify the air in the box, and draw out the moisture quicker, and it is not hot enough to be a fire hazard, or to melt any plastic.

And never throw anything away without tearing it apart to look for treasure inside.
