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 guess you could leave it a few weeks if you cant get the elevated temperatures.

if you cant stretch to an oven, you can use electric blankets.  The one i have heats to 40 degrees celcius which although not as good as 60 degrees, can still be better than just room temp.

Another way of doing a cheap oven if you have space is to use breeze blocks to make a basic oven shape, line it with insulating foam (the sealed foil covered stuff). then use a 2kw fan heater to heat the box up.  Only problem is they need careful temperature monitoring really.  You could probably buy some thermostat controlled heating element but i wouldnt want to leave such a thing unattended really if its not a proper oven.
