I'm using an old helmet hair dryer that's put on a box without 
a bottom but with holes around. Gives an A3 area to dry and it 
can be used unattended. Good for proofs too.
In production the 107 cm wide silkscreen belt dryer is ideal 
to dry sprayed Lascaux varnish on canvas, makes it a 
continuous job with several sheets and more coats per sheet. 
No sheets with wet varnish around to dry. If I get rid of the 
silkscreen equipment I think I will exchange it for an even 
wider but shorter dryer.
