I’m new to this and it’s cold in my area. My house is 70degrees. Would it be feasible to de-mold my projects and finish curing them in a box by a heat vent? Or should they be in the box by heat still in the mold. If I’m the mold how would I go about getting the ones I’ve already taken out to fully cure? I’m positive I’ve followed all instructions carefully and done everything I need to properly.

Hi Grace,

Some resins, even when fully cured can be bendy. This article explains more: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-frequently-asked-questions/why-is-my-resin-bendy/

If you want to cure them in a hot box, they need to be there during the entire curing time. You can see what I’m talking about here: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-resin-resin/cold-weather-resin-tips/

Thank you! If I put my pieces in a cardboard box on a heating pad would that help? They’re flat pieces 1/4” thick if that.

It will help some, but if the resin isn’t formulated to cure rock hard, it’s still not going to cure that hard in a warming box.

We have casting resins in our store that are designed for molds, plus cure hard and clear. You can buy them here: https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/resin/casting
