"Can I cure my resined piece in a sunny window?"

Here at ArtResin, you'll often hear us say that warm and dry conditions are the most ideal for letting your resined artwork cure.

While that is absolutely true, there is one other equally important factor:

Temperature stability.

You see, the first 24 hours of a cure are critical ... and the resin room must remain warm, dry and stable, with no fluctuations or dips in temperature.

Placing your freshly resined piece to cure in a sunny window seems absolutely ideal, but when night falls and the temperature does too, you could end up with what's known as the "orange peel" effect ... 
your resin will take on a wavy, possibly dimpled, uneven surface, NOT the perfect, level, glassy ArtResin finish you know and love.

So remember .... 
WARM ... 72-77F or 23-25C
DRY ... 50% humidity is ideal, but below 85% relative humidity is fine
STABLE ... no dips in temperature during the first 24hrs
