Substance to add to paint to make it dry quickly?
Question:is there such a thing? i've heard that if you add paint thinners or turps to the paint, this will then make the paint dry quicker - is this true? - is there anything to make normal paint dry in 5-10 minutes?

Water based paints dry more quickly than oil based, and they are safer to use and better for the environment.
From Squidoo's lens about water based finishes:
"Water based finishes dry very quickly. So, instead of your project taking weeks, you can start and finish your project over a weekend. In ideal conditions (70 degrees and 70% humidity), dry time is usually only two to four hours. Higher humidity or cooler temperatures do require longer dry times, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's specific guidelines. Another way that using this type of finish saves you time - clean up is a breeze! Just use water - no harsh chemicals - which takes us back the environmentally friendly thing again!"
My favorite brand is General Finishes. Here's their site-
