I just wanted to share this with you all.

Greenstuff is fun to work with but I usually end up mixing slightly more off the stuff than I needed.
This usually ends up being a useless blob. I expected the curing reaction to slow down in the freezer so I gave it a try, and guess what it works perfectly : D

Heat also cures it faster. like put it under a lamp.

I found putting it the freezer while sculpting it makes it less bubblegummy, till it gets to room temp again. I stay in a very warm area.

Well, yeah.

Exothermic reaction (many epoxies will get warm as they cure and the warmer they get, the faster they cure - it's a curve ) - once you mix it, you can't STOP it from curing, but cooling it down WILL slow the process and warming it up will accelerate it.


I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

yeah that is why it tried but I wasn't sure if would actually work or if some strange sort of secondary reaction or perhaps even crystallisation would take place.
