Victory in the Rain

It rained for the majority of the match versus Real Salt Lake last night. The good guys, Columbus, won the match 1-0 on a penalty goal from El Mellizo (Barros Schelotto). The banners I've made are strong and durable, something that I take pride in. Using exterior latex/acrylic paint is always the paint of choice because of elements such as long rains. Mold and mildew will have a hard time with this paint, but there is still the issue of the unpainted sections of fabric. So I come home and take a risky idea. Instead of having the banners air dry which is a tedious process, I decided to put them in the dryer. Talk about one solid risk with results! Not only did it only take 30 total minutes to dry them, but also the paint didn't chip, run, melt, stain, or destroy the inside of the dryer.
