Using oven

[Rogersab1223]

Hey guys -

I used my oven at low heat (~170*) to finish getting my first casts to cure. They felt just a little sticky after about 24 hours of curing so I popped 'em in the oven and finished them up. Worked fine.

Which led me to a few questions:

1) Can you just put them in the oven straightaway or earlier in the cure?
2) Is 24 hours too long? Should I have used more hardener?

Thanks,
Andy

I just let them cure naturally. Eventually, they won't be sticky anymore.

I put them right in the toaster oven for an hour, then let them cool off. If they are still sticky, I'll toss em back in for a bit.

Here is a little cold, so I put it right away for 2 hours at 100, then leave it cooling down, and after 24 hours is not tacky at all

You are talking about a toaster oven right???
Not your kitchen oven?
