My studio is not heated or insulated and winter is coming. If I run space heater (no open flame or element) I can get temperature up to 60 on coldest day, 65ish on 30-40 degree day.

Can resin cure in this temperature range?
I have very small work area in the house where I can pour resin and leave it for 12 hours but then I need to free up the area….can a resin painting be mov d at that point to the lower temp studio to finish curing?
It can stay there for weeks without being disturbed if necessary.

Hi Kelly,

Low 70’s F is the best temperature for resin curing. You can warm your resin in a water bath before starting, which will help, but your room temperature is still going to be a problem.

Once your resin painting has cured to the soft cure point, yes, you can move it so it can continue curing for the full cure time.

This article might give you some ideas on things to try to bring up the temperature of your resin casting area: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-resin-resin/resin-casting-in-cold-weather
