Ben, go outside and turn the heat lamp on high, then move it around every hour.

Laid out the mold today. The first layer looked awesome, no air bubbles that I could see. The second layer looked good too, but the third layer looks kinda ugly, lots of air bubbles. I ran out of catalyst and I had to go to Home Depot to buy some more. Then it got dark as I was finishing, so I did my best in the dark. But it looked like alot of air bubbles formed under there, although it won't matter because it's more structural. The first layer is what's important for the mold.

Sorry about the trash everywhere. I spilled Laquer thinner on my hand and that mixed with catalyzed resin equals BURNING PAIN. Had to drive home quickly and wash it off. It was too dark anyways.
