bzer1 is an unknown quantity at this point

It will look something like jelly. Then it begins to flow and will eventually look like paint. At the point that it begins to flow is when I generally start to check the temp. when the part gets to the curing temp you start your count down for curing time. Try to remember that we live in a 10% world. Be aware that you can overcure if you're not totally sure of when it began to cure. In your case I'm guessing you'll need to have the lamp very close to the part and it will need to be there a good long time. Depending on the type of parts you are attempting to cure you might want to up the power. In looking around Caswell's site I'd say you have plenty of options.
