Some of my plastic figures were left in the car for a day in very hot conditions and now they are sticky to the touch. They are painted with acrylics and coated with a matte spray. Will they dry on their own, or do I need to do something to get them back the way they were?

It might be that the sealant has softened. I have found that my lead figures, if left in the sun/hot car start smelling like dull cote again. Just set them aside and let the stuff "re-dry".

Would refrigeration help?
