answer to making putty dry faster

[Andrew Southall]

i have been sculpting today for long periods, and i was actually trying to find a way to prolong milliput\'s workability when i went and did the opposite by mistake. i thought that cutting off its supply of oxygen would stop the drying reaction, until i found that it sped it up. i placed the mixed putty into a sandwich bag, pushed out all the air and tied the end up. one hour later i went to see if it was still workable and it was as hard as a rock, just thought i would share that with you guys- giving advice rather than taking it for once.

Far as I know the reaction is internally-catalysed and independent of oxygen (since you can harden GS under water). What I\'m guessing this did was allow it to get warmer, which speeds up the curing process.

Putting it in the freezer prolongs the open time a bit.

I cured some Magic Sculpt to rock hard in under an hour today with a hot lamp.
