Solar finish

[Richard Gibson]

So this was my 3rd and 4th cast. I did not put enough hardner in batch #3 and this morning it was still sticky. I knew I needed to add heat but do not have a toaster oven so I turned to nature and Henry Ford. I put it on the dash board of my F150 on a 92 degree day and left the windows closed. Set up like a champ when I got home. :tongue:

It worked -- what's not to like?

Another option I've tried when I've wanted to cook a blank -- I've just put it under a 60 watt light bulb for a while...

We have been getting rain off and on but still hot as hades this summer. Usually have to mow early morning or late evening.

That's the most expensive toaster oven I think I've seen. Good thinking!!

enjoy the hot resin smell for the next week.
I have done the same, except I had to run the heater in the car to get the temp high enough. What a miserable after-smell.

I am looking forward to seeing the resin dressed in a kit.

I have a metal pan that I put my mold on, then outside into the sun. Takes about 10 minutes when it's 100 outside. It get's nice and hot!!
