Quickly drying paints as a solution to the
problem We all know how long to wait for the usual oil paint or varnish to dry. The process of complete drying can take several days, during which not only there is no possibility to operate the painted surfaces, but it is also not desirable to be in the room, since it is filled with an unpleasant, sharp chemical smell.
If it is not possible to leave the painted room before the surfaces dry completely, it is better to use a quick-drying paint without a smell. It appeared on the market quite a long time, but has not yet received the proper distribution. The complete process of drying it does not exceed several hours, nor does it have a pronounced smell.
Paint does not dry for a long time. Output - add catalyst
If for some reason, there is no desire to use quick-drying paints and the choice is stopped with oil, but you still need to speed up the drying process, then you can use a special tool - a catalyst. In his role are the desiccants. They can be purchased in the paint and varnish department of a building supermarket.
Desiccants must be selected according to the type of paint and used strictly according to the instructions.
Take care of the drying speed before the beginning of the dyeing process, since the catalysts are mixed with the paint before applying it to the surface.
Correct application as a way to speed up the drying process of
In order to accelerate the drying process of the paint, it should be applied only to warm surfaces, as it thickens rapidly on cold surfaces, poorly rubs and consequently dries up accordingly. Before carrying out the painting work, warm the room.
Three thin layers of enamel, varnish or other type of coloring liquid dry faster than one, but with triple thickness. This should be remembered when staining. And apply them with a roller or brush a thin layer. And if one layer is not enough, and the surface continues to shine, then another should be applied.
Paint does not dry: how can I dry it?
It happens that the painted surface does not dry out for a long time and you need to do something to speed up this process. The first thing to do is create good ventilation or even a draft. You can use a fan or create a natural air circulation by opening windows and doors. This method will significantly shorten the drying time.
How to make the paint dry faster: raise the temperature
Drying the paint is nothing but the evaporation of the solvent from it. And, as we know, the process of evaporation passes much faster if the temperature in the room is increased and the humidity is lowered.
To achieve this result, you can use a construction hair dryer or an infrared heater. Only do not close these instruments too closely to the painted surface to avoid the formation of cracks on the surface.
The temperature of the painted surface should be increased moderately. It is better to do this by placing the heating device at a short distance. This not only protects, but also does not allow to spoil the painted surface.
