Almost any paint will dry faster when it's warmer and if there's air circulating. The heat speeds up both diffusion and evaporation, and the circulating air keeps solvent vapor from building up near the surface and slowing the rate of evaporation.

∙ 10y agoSpeed up the drying time of oil paint by adding several drops of a siccative (drying medium) to about an inch ribbon amount of paint as comes from a 37 ml tube of paint. Common siccatives (driers) are: Japan Drier, Cobalt, Liquin, or Copal to name a few. Most driers begin with drying the outer layers first, slowly drying down to the support. Dry to touch does not necessarily mean the painting is chemically dry, that is...dry throughout.
Consider using a genuine copal medium, which attaches molecularly to pigment particles and dries uniformly. When the painting is dry to touch, it is dry throughout.

How Can you sand oil paint off the wall?
easy. Oil based paint is very durable when cured. This makes it "easy" to sand because the paint powders up quickly unlike latex paint which remains more flexible therefor gumming up normal sandpaper. It is unusual to find interior walls coated with an oil based paint, it is normally found on interior trim, doors, and cabinetry. If you are wanting to paint over the oil based paint, you can use a liquid de-glosser to prep the walls and paint directly over the oil. If it is a major color change, use a primer tinted 50 percent strength of the final color. Like they said-"easy"
