Resin gets pliable in a narrow window

I would experiment, carefully.

Just turned some hoods into pretzels with my dehydrator.

They felt a touch sticky out of the mold (cycling faster than normal) so I checked the tech sheet and asked around, consensus was that heating would finish the cure.

Whoops. They meant leaving in IN the mold at 150.

Unless you are in a big hurry, I would avoid the heat for now and apply a counter-twist to the frame with a wood block, shims and weights or a rubber band. Check every few days. Even very good quality resin will cold flow (as I found to my rue, too)

All else fails, go to the heat but approach carefully, and measure your temps. If it's not taking direction at 90F, go to 95F and so on. You want to apply as little as possible and still get the job done.
