I did a couple last night, I weight two parts resin with one part catalyst.  My new question is this:  how long to let it dry?  I did it over night and it seems good, but..... there is a sticky feeling to it.  Should I clean it with something now?

I am a licensed nail tech and when I did gel nails, which is made of acrylic and you harden it with a UV light, there was always a sticky coating on it and we cleaned it off with rubbing alcohol.  Is this the same thing?  I'm scared to clean it with anything LOL.

Thanks!

I'm thinking humidity will affect dry time too. My issue was couldn't get perfectly level. Even though my level said I was level....it showed that it wasn't completely level when it was dry.

I didn't even try the level thing.  I just set it on a magazine on the cutting table.  I'm glad it cured level :)

Thanks!

Is there any way to clean it up off utensils?
