: : : How do you know if your paint is dry...for glazes, next stages etc.... Is it really necessary to wait six months before a final glaze? If not then how do you decide?...Mine feel dry less than a week after painting them...but...???

: : The six month waiting period is for the final varnish of the painting to protect it. For glazes, it's just a matter of dry to the touch - sometimes 'the drier the better' depending on your glazing medium, if it has too much turp and you're heavy handed, you can lift the layer of paint your glazing over.
