Try and speed up the drying process in a circotherm oven at 150 Degrees......it causes untold smoke, smell and melted plastic....

Let's hope the restored 5 Bel doesn't go the same way

Centigrade? Ouch. But that's what a forum is for. You screw up so we don't have to! Thanks for the tip :thumbsup:
Whoops! :) My usual mistake (whilst being impatient) is to put on another coat of paint before the previous one dries. ::)
Lesson Learnt!
Doh!
Dare we ask what you melted? We won't say a word :-X
Been there, done that. One runny Dapol class 56 (old 00 gauge "paint it yourself version"). It is only obvious after you have done it.
Did it in my model aircraft days - Curtiss Tomahawk placed on top of bedside lamp to dry paint - melted it a treat!

You could say my 5 BEL Project went up in smoke!
I put a freshly painted loco shell next to a light globe a while back, the shell went soft and when I went to pick it up my fingers squashed it, amazing how much heat come out of a 100watt light bulb :thumbsdown:
Oh dear... :(
Sounds like you've joined the prestigious 'melt a model association' or mama for short. ;)
Yes, I'm a member too.
Hairdryer + just painted plastic wagon kit = rather distorted model worthy of weathering and putting on Ebay! :P ;D :smiley-laughing:
