Bill,
Small batches are the only way to go in this heat! I created some modern art sculpture(brushes in kicked pots)just yesterday with some polyester. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
FYI, In the heat, for larger batches, I fill a styrofoam cooler with ice, and set my resin pot directly in it. That extends the pot life considerably. Fewer wasted brushes too!
117º??? Time for a new air conditioner!
Looking good, BTW!!!
Bill
