Working conditions for Kast o Lite 30


Recommended Posts

It's gotten cold up here in NY and I wanted to get some advice about casting some Kast o Lite 30.  I'm thinking I should try to avoid exposing it to the cold temps we are experiencing around here - approaching freezing but not fully there - and work with it inside.  Is there any reason not to work with this in an enclosed space? I've got general house ventilation in my basement shop, but nothing beyond that. I plan to keep it wrapped for ~48 hrs and then continue the cure with some added heat from a small space heater. 

Also, I plan to lay it up in two parts, each are two sides of the rectangular forge body.  Should I let the first layer go through as much cure as possible before the next, or can I lay the second layer after say the first 48 hours if the first section has set well?

Thanks for any input.
