I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will get to Stef, then Cisco and to me in time to take it to the Cornwall meet.
Please advise those of us not experienced with One Shot just what is the best way to sign this.....OS thinned with MS? or...?
For fastest dry time, I mean.
Thanks!
Adrienne

MS is fine, you could mix some Japan dryer in yer paint, or do what I do, let it sit out in some 80* heat for several hours.

Adrienne,

When usong 1-shot on banners, it is best to thin with automotive reducers for enamel.

Mineral spirits is air dry only, and actually has to evaporate. The automotive reducers dry chemically, and faster.

I've always been crazy... but it's kept me from going insane.

I used a little hardner in my One Shot...couldn't believe how fast and well it dried...of course we'll know how successful I was when Steffanie opens it...Hope I'm not embarassed.

Coop willhave to give the official word on the "Sharpies" but I don't see anything wrong with it.

A hint here...when you ship it keep it under 500 miles at a time if possible and the rate will only be around $8.00 each time it gets ships.
