Hey ahhh, why these parts getting so soft in the sun?

 

How can I fix this? I do resin infusion, is it time to get a parts oven and switch to a higher temp tooling gel?

I've once seen a picture on the internet of a guy curing his parts in the sun, this is how he did it.

You take a carboard box, put you part in it, put a black trashbag arond the box, make some small holes in the bag with a knife, put it outside on a hot summer day Smile
