Most shops will bake between 160 to 180 F. You might have to do a couple of test bakes to find the ideal temperature for your area, but 160-180 is the average.

Now the temperatures will make the air in the shop flow, so make sure if you do bake to keep the baking area/room as dust free as possible. Particularly the floor. As the room/area heats up, the floor will let dust on it come up and it could get in your paint.

Good Luck!

actually Im thinking about using my oven. they are small pieces that I plan on painting and want it to bake evenly. I suppose I could use a heat gun, but thats not really evenly.

I did some small pieces in mine and it doesnt taste/smell like paint. But it was partially dry when I put it in there, I just wanted it to completely harden quicker

fiberglass reminds me of peanut brittle... but fiberglass tastes better!

Just do not burn the place down. Has anyone tried the microwave and a pint of resin before?
