And make sure there is good air circulation so the paint = can finish drying. --=20 dadiOH _____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.0... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Cecil Open the windows and ventillate the house, esp that room. Paint dries by evaporation of the solvents - they will be in the house until replaced by fresh air. It takes a week or two for oil base paint to cure, so expect some fumes (a lot less than first day or two) for that amount of time. Open the closet, as well. A fan will help. |
