I run my snares threw the dishwasher. I then put them in the oven on low heat to dry them out really well and to warm them up. While they are warming up I bring some water to a boil in a good sized pot on the stove. I put my cans of spray paint I in the boiling water to get the paint nice and warm.
I let the snares get pretty warm in the oven hot enough I can’t touch em..... When both the snares and paint are warm I take them out side and paint them ASAP. Doing it ASAP with a warm bundle of snares makes the paint almost instantly dry to the snare.
Doing it this way is fast. You can handle the freashly painted snares almost instantaneously after your done spraying them. The heat also gases off the paint smell. No hanging them out do get the smell off. Also no sticky paint on the snares.
Use some brains.... Don’t forget your paint boiling on the stove!
This is the only way I could figure out how to camo snares in a hurry without smell or soft paint.

God bless

I spray paint them 2 colors, in the summer, with plenty of time for the smell to dissipate.
