Hi all, I am interested to know how long different resins take to cure. I have been testing an epoxy resin but this takes a number of days to fully cure.

What products do you use and what setting time?

Thanks

Dan

DAn I have a mate who makes heaps in Epoxy I will visit him but he dries his in the sun not long at all and crystal clear to boot will find out the brand he buys at the Fibregass Supply place here some brands are universal it turns like a dream as well. No shake bubble clear.
