    I would like to know if the colors of alkyd W&N needdrying furnace as routinely done with conventional oils. The drying oven must beconceded just finished painting or if you have to wait and how long? And then how long does it take to dry?

    Thank you!

    Drying time will vary slightly from colour to colour Fabio (as with oil paint) but in a very thin layer people often say they're dry to the touch in about eight hours or overnight, but that may not be dry enough to paint over without some risk of lifting.

    If you haven't bought them already I'd recommend sticking with regular oils though because they're not as high in pigment so they are more transparent.
