When a paint job did not properly cure or develop a hard surface it can be quite a problem- - we know. If you are currently in this situation, don’t worry. Today you will learn how to dry tacky paint quicker. Tacky paint is an issue because it causes blocking and furthermore, it even collects dust. Not to worry though, here is all that you need to know on how to dry tacky paint quicker.
Learning how to dry tacky paint quicker starts with you knowing the importance of air circulation; If you want the paint to cure as fast as possible, then the first thing you need to do is to increase air circulation near the painted surface. The more air circulating, the faster that the curing will occur. You can increase air circulation with something as simple as a fan.
Secondly, it is always a good idea to run a heart in the room to increase the temperature so that your paint will cure. Some people even use the alternative of shining a light onto the surface and it works just as effectively in curing the paint. Don’t be afraid to even let some sunlight hit the surface for faster drying.
If you have already attempted the air circulation and the rising of temperature and both of these did nothing towards curing your paint the it is time for plan b. You will need a dehumidifier to decrease all humidity that is stopping the paint from curing.
You can also prevent blocking from occurring in painted surfaces that are pressed together by spreading some talc here and there. Now this won’t make the paint cure quicker but it will prevent sticking. You can as well consider sanding a tacky surface,
