Enamel Spray Paint Off Gassing Time

[saximus]

I just made a hide/shift box out of an old Chinese container which I sprayed with enamel paint to make it opaque. I'm just wondering how long before it should be ok to put in the enclosure? Thanks

Could be two or three weeks - enamels take a long time to fully cure because it's not just a solvent based system.

Hmm ok thanks Jamie. How frustrating, I was hoping to use it sooner than that.

Put it in a warm room or in the sun (just make sure it doesn't warp if it gets too hot). The more energy in the system the quicker it will cure, upto a point.
