I know heat is an enemy during pen turning and I've noticed more an more issues as of late with non-wood blanks (acrylic and alabaster) exploding and coming apart.
I do my turning out in the garage and the temp has been in the upper 80's and 90's out there when I've been doing my turning. With A/C not being an option is there anything I can do to increase my success? Would the glueing of the tubs (think CA) be better suited to allow to cure indoors where it's around 70-72 degrees?
Any suggestions out there??
