jaymcminn Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I just shot some Scale Finishes gloss enamel on my Trumpeter GT40 build. What is the drying time on the gloss enamel? I'm not planning on clear coating, but I will be polishing out the paint. How hard does this stuff dry? Is it similar to or harder than, say, Tamiya lacquer?
charlie8575 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Drying time: give it at least a day, possibly two if it's humid where you are. With enamels, I generally wait 2-3 weeks before polishing to make sure they fully catalyze. Alternately, if you have dehydrator, it'll cure fully in 24-30 hours. The curing can also be accelerated with a hair dryer on low. Charlie Larkin
