    Hello first post so please be gentle, I'm starting off a kraft/art store come market stall and carboot business, Google has guided me to this forum so hopefully I can get some tips,
    My first question is, how to get oil paintings to dry in a shorter time, I have many more questions to ask and I hope by posting just one question at a time i can get the most from this forum,
    Here is a sample of what i do,

    Toe knee chin wag haha! Whoever you are I love you already for having such a great name :D

    Anyhow :oops: there was once a little gem of a thread, well a few actually :rolleyes: to do with myself miss pickle, pleased to meet you btw :) and I personally think there is a lot of information on there that could come in very handy!

    Astra, kiab, Andy handy and dev I feel are the main peeps in terms of future info.
    What they don't know ain't worth knowing.
    Trust me :)

    Personally I find with oil you should paint under shelter if poss. Allow a slight skin to form and then stick it outside and let the Devonshire wind do its magic.
    Works for me :D

    Thank you so much already for the advice, I do paint undercover and I know ventilation is very important, My paintings dry fast to touch, depending on thickness of coats, Its the finish hardness of the paint I really need to get better, there is always a sticky litle bit somewhere on the object that sticks to my skin, it's so annoying,

    I'm at a loss to your other point about those other members and to the thought that I might be anything other that what I am, I won't try to kid you that it's my real name, As i understand it a username is just a name a ' identitiy tag' , I'm betting that your real name is not miss Pickle, I can't see why there should be any cloak and dagger situation,

    Anyways, <<< firm hand shake>>>> pleased to meet you and thanks for the advice, ;)

    The short sentences and fullstops lead towards tom. The rest leads towards phil :D

    Hi mate, I'm no expert but I would have though careful use of a hair dryer would help speed fings up a bit, no?

    Dunno why I'm telling you this though, you know it already.
