- 1). Place the UV lamp about 2 feet from the object with the wet paint. This is a general rule because the distance of the UV lights depends on the type of paint used. Read the owner's manual for guidelines on how far to place the UV light. If you don't have the owner's manual, go to the manufacturer's website for instruction.
- 2). Put on safety goggles that protect the eyes from UV light. Looking into UV rays can damage the eyes and lead to vision loss.
- 3). Turn the UV lamp on for a few minutes. It takes just minutes to dry paint with a UV lamp.
- 4). Rotate the object or the UV lamp so that all surfaces of the painted object get the same amount of ultraviolet light.
- 5). Turn off the lamp and remove the eye goggles.
