To dry parts trees and to keep my animals from getting to them (they once ruined an entire model I had drying), I use one of my home’s ceiling fans.

Tie any type thread onto the parts tree you’ve painted and loop the thread around one ceiling fan blade. This keeps the parts tree up and out of the way of children or curious animals.

Key point? Remember not to turn the fan on until you remove the parts trees from the blades.
