can you do it in your garage with some heat lamps?

don't have heat lamps. i figured i could do the mold inside the car and turn the car on and run the heater for awhile. i got an electric heater for in the garage i suppose i could use.

what is that?

you can glass outside, then bring it inside your (basement?) and let it harden there. thats what i did last winter. if you cant do it that way, make the mixture a lil hot by adding some more hardener.

i would say no. i tried it and it took forever to work. i do not glass in any temp below 60 and a sunny day now.

I do it, but I take it inside to cure near a heater. I also use a heat gun sometimes as well. More hardener will work to a point but can have adverse effects if you get carried away with it ( smoke is bad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
