Painting with your Craft Smart acrylic paint on multiple surfaces but do not know when your paint will dry out? Relax because I have come up with some interesting facts that will certainly help you with this.

How Long Does Craft Smart Acrylic Paint Take To Dry? For sure, Craft Smart acrylic paint dries faster, and it takes about 15 minutes to dry clear on most surfaces. But your paint may take a bit longer if the surface is slippery and non-porous. But it will surely dry if you keep it untouched for 24 hours. You can also slower or faster the drying process, which I will discuss below.

Keep reading the article further to explore more about the drying time of Craft Smart acrylic paint. I hope you will enjoy reading it.

What Is The Usual Drying Time Of Craft Smart Acrylic Paint?

Craft Smart acrylic paint is known best for drying faster and is suitable for beginners as well as professionals. 

It may vary at drying time on different surfaces, but more or less, it will take an hour to become touchable. 

I will add a table below where you can see the different drying times of Craft Smart acrylic on different surfaces. 

Surfaces	Drying Time
Fabric	30 minutes to 24 hours
Ceramic	dry within around 24 hours
Canvas	20 minutes to three hours to dry
Wood	around 20 minutes
Plastic	30 minutes
Metal	1 and 2 days
Glass	around 1 hour to 3 hours
Wall	dry within around 24 hours
Rock	20 minutes to as much as 24 hours
Terracotta	24 hours

Fabric and canvas are mostly porous surfaces, and Craft Smart acrylic works fast on these surfaces. But non-porous surfaces like wood, plastic, wall, and ceramic take at least 30 minutes to dry. But on metal surfaces, this paint takes more time to dry. 

Does Craft Smart Acrylic Paint Dry Fast?

Compared to other brands, Craft Smart Acrylic Paint takes about 15 minutes to dry and that is quite fast drying acrylic paint. 

Because it already has a thin consistency and the formula of this paint evaporates faster. That is why even if you are working on a big project with this paint, you may fail to blend it sometimes.

Can You Make Craft Smart Acrylic Paints To Dry Faster?

Though the Craft Smart acrylic paint itself dries fast, you can speed up the process with the help of a heat gun or even choose a place where there is massive airflow or the temperature is moderately high.

These will help the water to leave the pigment on the surface fast and it will for sure make your work a lot easier.

Can You Make Craft Smart Acrylic Paints To Dry Slower?

Of course, you can make Craft Smart Acrylic Paint dry slowly with our acrylic paint with the help of a slow-drying medium and also by controlling the environment. 

A slow-drying medium will not change the property of your acrylic paint. Rather it will just give a  smooth drying effect after an hour or more. But if you work in a closed studio with no airflow and more humidity, keep the paint wet for a long time.
