    Heat setting paint

    Thanks for all previous help guys and now that I have started appling paint, I could use some help on setting the paint. What is the best method for speeding up curing time. I am repainting old lures to practice on so I start out sanding and priming with Krylon and then I am applying Createx paint. How long between coats and are you guys using heat guns/hair dryers to set the paint? Do you preheat the lures? Any advice really helps.

    I use a manly purple hairdryer! (the wife's old one)

    The one time I didn't mind her going and replacing something that didn't really need to be replaced.

    I will dry mine a little longer as dick nites top coat seems to crawl if the paint isn't totally dry, I dry each color I shoot before applying the next...
