That looks real white, Will.

I tinted my first attempt at white by heat drying it.
It made it tan'ish

Hopes yours stays white.

Dehydrators rule! I saved my behind many times when I used to paint toy cars for a reseller. I was always running late and paint drying time was a problem. Then a friend told me to get a dehydrator and it made overnight paint drying a reality. The heat never caused a problem, even on plastic toys. I actually combined racks from two or three cheap units and had them stacked tall on one base heating unit. Long live cheap dehydrators.
