How long does oil paint take to dry!?

im making a shirt for a rally tomorrow and i neeeeeeed it to be dry by the morning! i had to use oil paint cuz i had nothing else and its not even close to being dry...How long does oil paint take to dry!?
Shayting,


I'm afraid your shirt will not be dry for a very long time. Acrylic or fabric paint would have been dry by tomorrow, but thin oils will take from a day or two to months. Thickly applied oil paint can take 7 to10 years to dry.





This shirt will have to be a painting rag now. Whatever you do, don't throw it in the wash. You would never be able to clean all the paint out of the washer. It would get paint on everything you put in the washer after that. You should research these things ahead of time, I'm sorry to say. It's the cost of education I guess.How long does oil paint take to dry!?
Don't use oil paint on clothing. Use acrylic.





That oil is not going to dry in time and oil paint is toxic..you can't wear that next to your skin...TOXIC.





If you were paitning on canvas and not something to be worn, you could use this also highly toxic substance to excell drying time called ';Japan Dryers';...but don't bother.





Start a new shirt and chalk this up to experience.





Do your new design based on that what you have already created.





Since you are going to be re-doing it, it should not take you very long at all to replicate in a suitable medium...acrylic.





You still have time to go buy/locate some acrylic paints and paint a t shirt which will be ready by morning..in a few hours actually.





If you have not acrylic paint, then use wax crayons to draw design onto the T shirt and then iron them into the fabric through a piece of wax paper once your drawing is complete.
It really depends. But since you used it straight from the tube it will take at least a few days to a week to dry.





It would be a wiser choice to use fabric paint, but if you are really pressed for time I suggest just using acrylic paint.





Just go run to a craft store and get a small tube, you would not want to run a rally in a shirt with oil paint that has not dried, its gonna get messy.
Oil paint can take a long long time to dry. You can try using a blow drier on your shirt, and that might speed drying a little, but if the paint is thick you are definitely out of luck

oil paint is made to not dry quickly. if the paint is thick enough it can take weeks to dry. the slow drying makes it easier to fix details on paintings so it probably was not the best choice. try acrylic next time, it can dry in like 15-20 minutes.
If it's thick enough to not show the fabric then it will take several days. If it's really thin, then it can be put under something to speed up the drying and be down by sometime tomorrow
oil is hard to dry on a shirt..it will take awhile..like hours..if you could have put it in the sun for awhile it would speed it up...good luck..
Depends on how thick it is, but I can tell you it will probably not be completely dry by tomorrow.
You should have used acrylics for a shirt. It would have dried in an hour or two and be washable.





Oils would take over 3 weeks to dry...
it takes about 2 days depending on the thickness, if you want to speed up the process, put it in a room with good airflow

It takes a long time.
