Hello, i need to seal all of this bark, but only can do 30cm each 12hours, because if i turn the wood, the resin drop to the floor, because the resin is very liquid.
Can i accelerate the drying time adding temp or adding any thing??

Thanks.
David

Curing can be accelerated with heat. Curing times can roughly be halved for every 10°C of temperature increase.

However, in your case i would strongly recommend taking your time as increased temperature will cause the wood to degas and result in bubbles, which defeats the point of sealing it in the first place

The other option may be to use a different resin, depending on the effect that you're trying to achieve. Which resin is this and are you just coating the sides?
