Sound familiar ? Of course it does ! In the wild, we build debris shelters and snow caves. We minimize the size of the shelter so we can warm up the shelter with our own body heat. How does insulation work? Heat flows naturally from a warmer to a cooler space.
Satin paint usually takes about 2-4 hours to dry, but if you are recoating, then it will take 8 hours.
Oil paint dries by oxidation, not evaporation, and is usually dry to the touch within a span of two weeks (some colors dry within days). It is generally dry enough to be varnished in six months to a year. Art conservators do not consider an oil painting completely dry until it is 60 to 80 years old.
