    I don’t have any resin tips Dave, but I do have an big interest in combining it with polymer clay. Will check out your .pdf and learn some tips from you! 🙂

    I actually have started curing my epoxy resin pieces in a toaster oven set at about 100 degrees. My pieces cure much faster, are protected from humidity and dust (or cat hair!) and seem to cure harder.

    I’ll second the toaster oven suggestion – that’s worked well for me. That tip sheet is great, thanks! Instead of a blow-dryer or heat gun, I’ve found a few quick exhalations get rid of any surface bubbles that may have appeared. You just have to watch out not to breath IN too much near the resin.
