Putting it outside may cure it a little faster due to the higher temperature - I haven't actually tried it. But I would not advise it as sunlight does hasten the yellowing effect. All resins do yellow with time so it is best to store it i the dark when not wearing it.

Is your main living area warmer? You could just work on a covered table and set it aside for curing somewhere in the warm space.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-84641427804711675692018-07-09T16:17:08.882-04:002018-07-09T16:17:08.882-04:00Ah, but you could embed so many things and make ke...Ah, but you could embed so many things and make keepsakes!
