Title: Army Painter Drying Time
Post by: Old Guy on 24 November 2013, 11:34:29 AM: How long do you wait before varnishing over Army Painter. The tin says 48 hours and the 'varnish' is hard, I find the figures touch dry after 12. I lack patience these days, so, do I wait?

Fair enough, i honestly thought that that long in an oven would have a negative affect on miniatures.
