Hairdryer medium whatever that is
You can visibly see the color change from wet look to dry look. Treat it like you dry your hair, don't hold and burn. Does not work for the final dry, only between coats.
Maybe 30s for an entire body.

Great, thanks will try that next time - will give it a go on the Tamiya motorcycle model I’ve been slowly building for the last 2 months too! Them parts are crazy small lol
