I heard about the propane here & tried it. It works great with
Rustoleum & not at all with Benjamin Moore. The B-M will be skinned
over in 3 days, even with the propane. I also tried CO2, with similar
results. Fortunately I don't use much oil/alkyd paints nowadays.

"Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with
minimum food or water,in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing
clean on him is his weapon. He doesn't worry about what workout to do---
his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him.
The True Believer doesn't care 'how hard it is'; he knows he either wins or he dies.
He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the 'Cause.' Now, who wants to quit?"
