Has anybody tried using heat to cure the Tamiya smooth type putty? Or is the reaction not endothermic and requires a completely different catalyst?

daggerlee: I'm not sure if the reaction is endothermic, but I chucked a body with a ton of it in my food dehydrator set to about 115 degrees and left it overnight. By the time I woke up it was rock hard. I had used about 1/2 - 2/3 of the entire blue/white epoxy on a single body (kit/wing/fender flares) and had to move down to lower grit sandpaper and sanding sticks to bite into it enough. It was just killing my fingers trying to use the higher grit.

speaking of endothermic putties, does anyone know of any non-endothermic reactive putties besides tamiya? i'm getting more and more exasperated at the choices out there. i've used a two part expoy that was meant for plumbing once... just decided to try it since i was at the hardware store anyway, and it worked out great. it was something from ace hardware and it dried in a couple of hours and sands very well... unfortunately, it was discontinued and i've been searching for the right medium for custom works for a while.
one last note, has anyone noticed that the tamiya epoxy dries really brittle? i got this result from once out of the two times i've tried tamiya epoxyies. either it doesn't dry or dries very brittle and won't hold shape. a.
