Doming - Anyone tried it?

[jock]

I do a lot of doming, anyone thinking about it , the only tip i can give is get a UV light scource for curing as humidity in the air causes blisters

[Paul]

how long does it take to cure when you use UV source?


thanx

The real question must be how big a UV light source, in a bed of some sort with a lid or just a light suspended. A4 or A3.?

[jock]

@Paul , i leave it under for 25-30mins

@GoldRapt , i only use A4 , my uv light is attached to a black sink basin 8) ,
i made myself , the reason being they are too expensive for what they are,easy to make your own
I have two 8 inch tubes

Not sure if the UK have these but been using self adhesive doming stickers here they come in a range of sizes 25mm, 76x25mm, 64x19mm and 25x25mm the most popular sizes.

I use the liquid resin and use a uv curing machine works out very cheap to do.

Just bought a load of keyrings and there's a small recess when the insert is put in, I wonder if this gap could be domed?
