Resin Heating Mat

It was taking my resin a few days to cure, so I looked into a resin heating mat. Overall the reviews were good, so I ordered one from Amazon. It came from Akisey Market. I returned the first mat because the timer plug did not connect with the plug from the mat. I figured it was a one-off, so I exchanged it for the same one. It had the same problem. I let Amazon know, and I received a quick reply from Akisey Market. It seems to have been a packaging problem for them. (The wrong plug was sent.) They said they would send me the correct replacement in four days. Meanwhile, I have been using my mat without the timer. It really does speed up the cure time.

I received my replacement mat, and it worked well. I placed a silicone mat underneath my mat to protect my table. After doing resin for a few days, I was cleaning off my table and was shocked to see that the wood had split. It's an old table, but really sturdy. Now, I put a corkboard on top of the silicone mat, and another silicone mat on top of the corkboard. I place the heat mat on top of the mat and add another silicone mat on top of the heating pad. Hopefully, that will reduce the heat that the table is absorbing. I would say that the heating mat is a game-changer for me. (In addition, it comes with an insulated cover to protect the resin from dust.)
