It’s so time consuming…you can only add 1/8 inch at a time and 24 hours for curing between pours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP1 Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Never heard of it. I assume by the name you have to have a UV light along with the resin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resin cures with the application of ultraviolet light...quickly. I've been playing around with it lately. I have used it to make lenses for model headlights that are not molded in clear and I'm going to see if I could use it as an adhesive for aircraft canopies. I use a small UV flashlight by Dspiae to rapidly cure the resin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP1 Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 So on the last pour in the fountain a large bubble formed which ruined it. I had to replace the fountain. I will start pouring the resin tomorrow. Here’s a photo of the newly painted fountain. The hydrant isn’t glued down. Just seeing where I want it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
