Hey all, happy holidays
now on to the subject at hand.
I've only casted three times and loving this. But since i got my mold from Matt, I've used it twice already. Keep in mind that i don't use a pot, yet.
Both times I've mixed my resin and poured, the resin doesn't set up completely. i guess that since my shop is in my basement and rather chilly, that's the main reason of all the stickiness. my second cast, i poured in the mold and realized that i forgot to use the catalyst so i added drops to each blank and stirred.
this seems to be running on and on but here's the main reason of this post.....
since my blanks didn't set up completely and the catalyst generates heat to set the resin, i thought i would heat my oven and 'bake' my blanks to see if they would set up completely.
it does!
has anyone else had to do this? what's the thought of using a small toaster oven or even better, use more catalyst? right?
let me know what ya'll think
