Abstract
The drying board supports a freshly coated article during drying and includes a plurality of rigid upright projections extending upward from a rigid support structure. Each projection has base connected to the support structure and terminates in an upper end. The projection upper ends define a support plane for supporting a freshly coated article during drying. The projections are spaced apart to allow air flow to the supported side of the coated article. In an exemplary embodiment, the projections are randomly positioned such as not to present a pattern on the object and yet to provide a substantially uniform support area for said support plane. The projections are asymmetrically positioned relative to the perimeter of the support structure such that one drying board may be inverted and stacked upon another such that their perimeters are congruent and such that the projections do not interfere with one another.
