How long should paint dry?

[odelayheehoo]

We recently painted some wooden decorative pieces for a room, and we did it outside, but I am wondering if the small amount of woody paint smell is a concern, as these pieces smell when near them. Does this pose any risks to my crabbies, or should it not be something to worry about?

Thanks!

What did you paint them with? I've done rooms twice with the hermits in them with no issues. That was just low to no VOC indoor paint.

Oil-based and spray paint will off-gas harmful things for a while. I go three to four weeks before bringing it in. That is mostly for me, because the paint smell gives me migraines until it fully cures.

It was Krylon spray paint.

I'd personally give it a couple more days to air out.... but thats me.
