It's been  my experience that letting it dry at room temperature results in 
big patches  that don't wrinkle.  Wx permitting sun drying works well.  
Otherwise I apply some external
heat to make the texture uniform.

Does anyone know  how they produced wrinkle finish in the old days before 
the 'advent of  aerosol cans and speciality paints?  I have noticed a 
distinct difference between pre WWII finish and present day finish.
