Hai,
Is anyone using a tool to accelerate the rying/hardening process of paint after airbrushing?
If yes, how does it look like and does it make a real difference?

for plastic models I sometimes use a hair dryer when I use oils or enamels and I find it makes a difference, instead when I make white metal figurines I built a small oven using a wooden box of those that give you with some good bottles of wine, covered internally with aluminum tape, an old 60W incandescent bulb fixed inside with a switch on the outside and some holes on the cover for aeration, being careful it is also ok for pieces in resin if there are not too thin parts, when I make figurines I use acrylics only for the base color and then I only use oil paints with almost no thinner and the difference is noticeable, it goes from days to a few hours and the colors dry more matt
