Slow the curing???

[jttheclockman]

Is there a way to slow the curing rate of casting resin??? I am using Similar 41. What I have in mind may take up about 45 minutes to 1 hour to arrange while working with the resin. If I add less drops of hardener will this do it and if so will the resin come out as normal in the manner of consistancy or hardness??? Thanks.

John you are right, just use a bit less MEKP, also you can use a toaster oven set at 150 to cure the project once you have your things placed where they belong, Based on a 3/4 inch mold and depending on the ambient temperature I'll use 5 drops per OZ if it's below 80 and 3 to 4 over that, I haven't noticed a difference caused by humidity although I'm sure there must be some deleterious effect. For thick castings like bottle stoppers I only use 2 or 3 drops per OZ.
