using heat to speed drying

Question

​Are their any problems created in the paint film by drying a wet oil painting in a chamber heated up to 90-95 degrees F with 60 W incandescent bulbs? Thank you, Richard

I do not see a problem with this. I was not uncommon to expose canvases to sunlight in the Baroque era. Highly elevated temperature could cause problems. Some of this is due to accelerating the drying at the surface.
