How long do these take to dry? I want to spray paint cardboard letters and then attach embellishments as a child's craft.

These paints dry fairly quickly, usually 15 - 20 minutes. I have never tried to use them as spray paint, but I would think doing so would shorten the drying time a bit. They are good quality, long lasting paints. Enjoy! And good luck.

I put mine in the dryer and use a timer set for the needed time to dry. My dryer isn't too hot, so it takes me about 50 min's to dry, some times I put them over a line to dry.

This paint is thicker than usual paint. If you use it out of the can while painting, it becomes even thicker. Thus, the drying time between coats needs to be extended from the recommended time. I advise pouring into a small container & refill as needed while painting. The recommended time between coats is 6 hours at 50% humidity & 77 degrees. It will feel "dry" long before that but don't be fooled, it is NOT ready for another coat. New wood needs 16 hours wait after the first coat. I always wait at least 24 hours, advise a light sanding & wiping with a tack cloth between coats. Don't rush a job that will last 10+ years. This paint is thicker than usual paint.

you uses these like a watercolor pencil, so if u want them to dry quicker in the sense you are using it like a watercolor then yes. Do not use it on the pencil itself u will melt it.

I've always done it outdoors and then left them out there to dry. supposed to let them dry 24 - 48 hours, I normally do maybe 12 hours for thin material, never noticed a smell after that at all. hope that helps. stuff works, too.

These glue sticks have a working time of something like 13-16 seconds from what I remember in my research - I wish they were faster because that is actually way too long of a time to just hold box flaps down, slowing packing.

It really depends on how heavy you put it on. When I used them it was totally dry in 2 hours. They worked really well!!! I made a banner out of a sheet and used them on that.

These paints may be mixed to create other colors. They are oil based paints. Painted objects take a couple of hours to dry. For best results, do not handle painted objects for a couple of days to allow for complete drying.

about 12-13 hours to air dry. I usually end up throwing them in the dryer in the morning for about 25-30 minutes on extra-high to finish drying them after about 8 hours on the drying rack.

I just have them sitting in a plastic tray in a bathroom cabinet drawer. They don't dry out or anything.

Yes! I don't dry them but hang them on hangers! If I need them to dry sooner I put them on air dry and that goes faster

I received them just like you would get them at a paint store. we made a craft out of them with kids and did not feel they needed sanding. they are not sealed

The enamel does dry fast. I wouldn't mix them. You can get green enamel paint at most craft/hobby stores

you can air dry them butthat is not practical when you need them. So i put them on the fluff cycle of my dryer, very low heat and they ere redy in about 20 minutes most of the time. maybe 4 at a time in there. I cannot say enough about how valuable these are for every day use. My litter is off to their new homes, I kept one, 3 months old now. I use one as a safety net in his crate over the little carpet in there but thankfully no accidents. But i have a senior (15 years) and at night he might have an accident. works great for him too.

It depends on how much you use. If not much, it doesn't take long at all. I just used it with my kids handprints. One of them use a bunch and I just let it dry overnight.

Never tried this, but do note these are paint not marker so initially anyway they would be very very wet if they were to run their hand over it unlike marker. If you wiped these after an activity I would think it would come off, however I wouldn't let them dry long then try. My daughter has gotten some on her play table (wood with poly shiny coat on top), if I wipe within an hour or so it comes off but if I wait awhile like the next day it leaves a smudge.

I waited a couple of hours between coats. I did very thin coats. I found this paint dried in a similar fashion to others. It wasn't significantly longer For drying time in my experience
