I am getting ready to build a stand for my aquarium but am a little worried about painting it. I don't want to wait until it warms up. Is there anyone in Utah Valley that has a warm space where I could paint it by any chance? Thank you |

| You can paint it in colder weather sometimes, just takes forever to dry. If you know someone with a garage, that should work. |

On a warm winter day, I paint outside a little before noon on the south side of my home. Before the sun goes down it has dried most of the way and I bring it inside to continue drying. By then the smell is not so strong as when first painted. Personally, I like the smell of fresh paint.

| Use a catalysts/hardener in your paint. |

I have painted in my garage during the winter, which works great. In the past I have also painted in the house, after everyone else has gone to bed, that way it is dry and the smell is mostly gone in the morning. Just make sure your paint isn't toxic  ------------- Sure you are, you are Crappy Reef Club Member #1 -Chk4tix 6 gal nanocube 65 gal http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=78639&title=tims-65-gallon-build" rel="nofollow - build thread |
