Enamel Curing

I used RUST-OLEUM Gloss Protective Enamel on PC-ABS Plastic. I was wondering if using either a heat fan or UV light would cause the enamel to flash, wrinkle, or shrink? I am looking for the most durable, optimum cure. Thanks in advance for input.

I don't use Rustoleum, but if it's like any other paint, you can apply heat to it and it will kick it a bit, so it will dry faster.
I wouldn't think it would make it more durable though.
If the clear you use does not contain a hardener, it won't be very durable at all

Thank you, Taz.
The clear is rustoleum crystal clear enamel.
I don't know what this means at all, but the composition/ partial ingredients are as follows: Acetone
Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Toluene
n-Butyl Acetate
Solvent Naptha, Light Aromatic.
1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene
Aliphatic Hydrocarbon.
bis(2-ethylhexyl)-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate
The following materials are non-hazardous, but are among the top five components in this product.
Acrylic Resin
