Using fire for quick drying

Category: Spray Paint

I recently received an email asking about the use of fire for spray painting. Often in professional videos you can see the artist set his painting on fire for a couple seconds after completion. This technique is really only used for quick drying the painting and serves no real other purpose, in fact, it is actually quite dangerous and I don’t recommend that any beginners try. Spray paints are ridiculously flammable!

I hope this info helps all you spray paint artists out there!

    I have heard that they will do the quick drying method only when they want to sell their paintings immediately. This is good for booths at fairs and things like that. I agree with you, if your purpose for making a pictures is to keep for yourself or if you are learning, don’t burn it!
