We use mainly HOK too. You will NEVER get One Shot to dry as fast as HOK, not even close. You can speed up dry time by adding the catalyst. Using lacquer thinner as a reducer will speed it up a little too but still, compared to HOK, it takes forever to dry...........I use it occasionally and I'm always reminded of how much messier it is compared to HOK. I leave fingerprints on everything They say the EZ Flow paints dry faster than One Shot but from what I hear twenty minutes is about the norm. I've been spoiled by HOK's drying in a couple of minutes.

Hey Curtis, you know how I feel about Neanderthal paint.
I had to edit this post because I'm doing a big job at the moment which is ten foot from me and I just got off the phone after ranting to a friend in regards to this neanderthal paint which seems to take forever to dry when you are actually doing something you truly love to do. In my case its pinstriping and I friggin hate waiting for paint to tack enough to lay some tape across it. This kind of stuff is bogus and a clear message to those in charge has always been taken like with a grain of salt. I tell you that I can't put up with finger prints of paint and even though I've always had solutions, its still old hat.
