thatz4u Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 how long does this stuff have to dry before the smell goes away? what can it be clear coated with?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 That's the safeguard that Krylon includes in their enamel paints. When the smell is gone, you can start to think about any additional coats of paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I have been wondering if it has been discontinued. I love the flat black which is more of a satin sheen but can't find it. My usual source has been Hobby Lobby but a check of two stores and on line came up out of stock. There is a couple listed on ebay but the price asking is stupid high.

Rodent Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Michael's used to carry it, but I haven't been inside a Michael's store for a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Amazon carrys it. I clear coated it wit any Testors clear because I had it. On hand. I used clear after 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave G. Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 The last time I was at Michael's they had it but that was back around Dec 2021. I don't use it though, so can't answer the OP question about dry times. I know back about 15 years ago when I did use Krylon it dried pretty quickly ( certainly touch dry sometime the same day and workable overnight). I've heard the formula has changed since those days. No idea in what way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Use a dehydrator to speed up drying and give a hard finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I always recoated it and handled it 24 to 36 hours after painting. Always dried fast unless painted real heavy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone does not have one....find one!!!!! I bought mine 25 yeas ago at Big Lots for $10.....best hobby investment I ever made. I even have a back up unit I found at a yard sale for $3!!! You can still find a basic unit for less than the MSRP of a current model kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
