Another quick dry question

[jknaus]

Can you quick dry a resin figure in a crockpot as you would a metal figure? Is there anything to be aware of?
Thanks in advance.

Avoid very thin items like swords, bayonets. These have a tendenccy to distort. Here's a full thread on the subject: http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32968&highlight=crock

I avoid the crock pot and actually use two photo lamps which get pretty hot and my oils dry pretty quickly.I picked up the two lamps at Home Depot for like 9 buck each so it was a good deal. One thing I would avoid is drying reds using this method. I have noticed it tends to dry with a strong orange tint to it.

Yes you good speedup drying oils. But you have to lowdown the temperature.

Put the pot on the lowest setting and leave the lid slightly adjar. I dry resin figures in my crock pot all the time with no problems.
