Best way to heat garage for paint to dry?
Hello all, have started to sort out my garage and part of that is re=painting the walls, now the problem is some of the walls are drying but one in
particular will not as the outside part is in the shade so will not 'warm up'. I have tried using cheap little electric heater fans but
not really making much difference and all the hire places are out of their space heaters, so what options do I have:
If no change by tomorrow what about something like this:

Will this heat the garage up to let the paint dry?
Thanks
Lee

Yes but it will also create moisture which will rehydrate it

In short, no...
Propaine in partiuarly burned to emit water so is very damp, you would be better off with som IR halogen tyres, or gas convection heaters.
That said, certainly if this is the ourside (not clear from post) how about waiting till spring!!

you will get pinning from useing a space heater in your paintwork hire or buy a infa red heater .2k will skin in 20 mins with the infa red at around
25 deg ask the paint place for as much info on the paint you are going to use.

Sorry, it is the inside of the garage I am painting.
I would wait until spring but only have a few weeks off work and my new flooring arrives in a day or so.....
