I tried the talcum mixed into the resin, and it did set much slower. I had enough working time to have the mold in the vacuum chamber for a little less than a minute which produced a much better casting. However, the weather here has been colder than in the past few days and that affects the resin setting time. Warm weather makes it set quicker, colder weather it sets slower, so I'm not sure exactly how the much the talcum affected it. I appeciate the tip, Clarita and I will continue to experiment. Muchas gracias!
