Hey, I have a pyo I have a clear coat on so I can antique it, but it has been rainy and humid and does not want to try. Does anybody know a whole lot about using a heat gun for this to help it dry out a bit faster? I know some use them to cure paints (like airbrush and enamles) but I wonder how this would affect acrylic and gypsum. Any advice before I decide whether or not to try?

Heat guns are more effective at removing paint (they cause latex and acrylic to bubble up from the surface they are painted on). While a little heat might be okay, its hard to judge at what point its too much heat and sometimes in my experience the settings aren’t all that accurate.
If you have an electric fan I would try that or the cool setting on a hairdryer rather than a heat gun.
