Can You Acccelerate Clear Resin Curing Time?

[Darkmessiah]

hiya guys, most of you guys know that GDUK is 2morro and am working on a couple of resin water entries, ones finished, done, but the other one was only poured the early hours this morning, judging by the cure time of the last mini i think 24 hrs should be fine, but ideally id prefer 36hrs, is their anyway to accelerate the cure time so its solid by the time i get to GD???

Bake it at 140 C, that will speed it up but there is the danger of dis-colouration and no good it there are plastic elements (melt melt!).

EZ water is better for speedy water, but there is still that melting danger.

Cutting it a bit fine arn\'t you???

I am fella, cutting it far too close . Its not a serious entry so its not overly important but out of the two entries iv got this one is the better...

you reckon a warm lamp would shave a few hrs off?

Leave it on the boiler would knock \'a bit\' off.

As Chris said, have it sloppy EEEOOOO:|~

When I poured mine it was winter, so the setting took ages!!! So long that I poured a second lot over some unset stuff, then left it on the boiler!

My entry should be easy to spot in the diorama cabinet, its probably the only one with a waterfall and a badger

(not a joke)
