finally found time to experiment with solus proto

ok so I was initially disappointed with the solus proto because I found that despite post curing, the prints did not survive standard vulcanization but after some experimentation, I found a method that works extremely well.
two very important things, the first is that never vulcanize the same day as you print.
the prints need to sit overnight.
also post cure under uv at least a couple hours each side.
after you post cure, you need to heat the prints at a low temp for a while.
I bought a cheap presto pot for under 20 bucks at sears that works great.
I set the pot to 250 degrees and place the prints in the pot covered for an hour then I slowly raise the temperature to 325..all in all I let them cook about 4 hours.
this seems to toughen up the prints so they easily survive vulcanization.
happy printing!
