Thnx, Mac Yes. The kit is quick and easy to use. I sometimes use it for smallish parts needing a quick turn round. The only limiting factor is if you want to cure the part at high temperatures in the mould. If you are in-mould curing at ambient temperatures then no problem. I have cured at 60 (after post curing the mould first) but not sure EC would recommend that. Warren Carbon Copies Ltd

With smaller parts Ive got away with using it upto 90C with extensive postcuring of the mould for quite a few hours. But it is a risk though.
