Most Effective Curing Cycle

Post by cemoore »

I'm a bit unsure as to how long I should cure my molds prior to drying. The application is lost wax, not Pdv or open face. BE recommends wrapping molds in plastic for 24 - 48 hours before drying. My typical mold is 10 inch diameter cylinder by 5 inches tall. I've been curing for 24 hours plastic-wrapped. My objective would be to completely cure and strengthen as much as possible without unnecessarily prolonging start of drying. Thoughts?
