Will epoxy resin cure in a sealed container?

Hi everyone. Newb resin user here. 
My workshop is dusty. Very dusty. If I pour my resin into moulds and then seal them inside containers (like Really Useful tubs) will they cure? Does the curing process need "air flow" or space for escaping gases?

The epoxy will cure even in a sealed tub as it is a Part A and Part B reaction where no air is needed just the relevant chemical components. 

Perfect, thanks :-)
