5 - 8 seconds if you didn't put it on too heavy!

One way you can remove is by using a heat gun or blow dryer heat gun works best You can also use lacquer thinner but this is messy & fumes are strong you also have to allow thinner to dry before you put new material on I recommend wearing gloves because you can get cut pretty easy
Varsol, or white spirit will work also, and without the fumes of lacquer thinner. You will definitely have to wait for it to dry off. This works well with water based contact cement too.What are the tharmful effects of glue sniffing?

What do you mix with epoxy glue?
I have mixed India Ink with 2-part epoxy and it worked great,(used it inlaying the product Inlace) as far as paint, I recommend trying a 2-part 5 min. epoxy, start out with a dime size drop of resin--a dime size drop of hardener and 1 drop of paint, mix as per instructions, wait 1/2 hour and check for separation, soft spots,etc. if it worked as did my India ink,. great! Items to consider: strength of epoxy may suffer somewhat, instead of 1000lbs per square inch holding power you may drop to say 750lbs per sq. in., more of a drop in holding power with more paint. you also have to check your color depth as far as matching, remember you want to use as little paint as possible. Suggestion: Michael's hobby store carries 12 packs of India ink in pastel colors, and the same in bright vivid colors, around $ 20.00 ea., check them out and good-luck.
ANS 2 - You can buy epoxy paint.
