Hi all,

I enjoy modeling and all the things that come with it. However my time is limited. Not do to work or other responsiblities, but do to the weather.
I usualy do my spray painting outside and leave the pieces outside to dry. However with colder weather setting in I bring them into dry. Whe I do this it takes days to dry and more often than not the piece stays tacky. Sometimes lint will settle on it and the finish is "fuzzy". A buddy of mine said I could try a regular "beef jerk style" food dehydrator to put my pieces in. He says it draws out the moisture and heat/drys the piece. Has any body heard of this acctualy working?

I would build a spray booth if I had the money and if i knew my 16 month old wouldn't "Find It"

Heeeelllllllpp!! I want to start building the models I get for Christmas before spring. Thanks, Marc
