7 Ways to Get the Paint Dry Faster - When You Are In Hurry!

Painting in humid conditions can be a tricky task. You need to make sure your paint dries fast enough before it bonds with the surface, but not so quickly that it won't form an effective bond at all!
To help you get through this sticky situation, here are seven tips for speeding up moisture evaporation - just remember to find the perfect balance between quick drying and strong bonding.
1- Lower Down the Humidity Levels Inside 0:33
If you're feeling the steamy humidity outside, there are many ways to battle it at home! Combating high moisture levels in your room with AC or a dehumidifier is one great idea.
But be careful not to lower temps too much-that could trap moisture and make painting harder than necessary.
2- Focus on One Area at a Time 0:55
Painting one wall at a time can help you achieve the perfect finish! Instead of working on multiple walls simultaneously and waiting for them to dry, focus exclusively on completing each area before moving on to the next. That way, by the end, your first section may be ready for its second coat as you continue painting other areas.
3- Apply Thinner Coats and Avoid Thick Layers 1:17
When it comes to painting, thin coats are your friend!
Not only do they dry faster than thick layers, but they also help create a more uniform surface.
So remember: when you're ready to paint - don't pile on the brush; less is best for quick and perfect results!
4- Use Fans to Your Advantage 1:37
Painting projects can be time-consuming, and drying times even more so. However, you can expedite the process with proper ventilation to circulate air and dissipate any odor.
Positioning fans around the room is excellent for general circulation, but if your gloss paint takes longer than anticipated, it's also good to direct some toward the surface!
5- Use a Heat Source Wherever Possible 2:01
Need to paint and dry in the cold winter? A space heater can do wonders! Heat sources like hair dryers, lamps, ovens, or heat guns are also useful for drying various surfaces quickly - from walls to crafts. Just make sure not to overheat the wet paint for the best chip-free results.
6- Pick Water-Based Non-VOC Paint 2:23
Painting just got a whole lot easier with paints like chalk paint, acrylics, and latex!
Water-based paints like these are the fastest drying type of paint and feature no Volatile Organic Compounds, making them safe while wet. So you can make your projects come to life in record time without sacrificing quality or safety. A win/win proposition all around!
7- Use some Oil Paint Drying Mediums 2:48
Oil paints are renowned for their slow drying time, but with the use of linseed oil or other types of mediums like cobalt, you can speed up your paint job. Isn't it perfect, especially if you're spraying in cold temperatures?
