: How do you preheat it, how warm do you let it get and does preheating hasten
: setting??? Anything that helps me glass faster is a huge help.

: Robert N Pruden

I mix my epoxy under a heat lamp for a fast hot warm up. Since I use the slow setting epoxy I don’t have to worry about it setting up prematurely on me because of the long pot life. If I have a short pot life epoxy but have only a small area to cover then it works out OK also.
