Problem here seems to be that the Thai quickset takes four minutes (too fast), and the slow three hours or more (far too slow).

Is it a heat and humidity problem?

In theory extra heat should make two-part epoxy cure that much faster. I used to put mine on the radiator to harden.

Perhaps you had better ask the doctor for some little blue pills

Wish you'd told me about that before.

I'll be walking funny for days.

5 minute epoxy for me. Sticks like sh*t to a blanket and allows time for a little tweak to the positioning on the base. For multi-basing I find superglue too quick.

Is it a heat and humidity problem?

I paint in an air-con room. Believe me, I couldn't survive the hot season without it.

me too kitty, the heat here, helps with the drying, but some times its just too fast so my office/ painting bench is always kept at 17 degrees...
makes the ice cream last longer too...
But my matt varnish (acrylic) suffers a little...
I have given up with any plaster based -basing and I am sticking literally with static grass, pva and local soil....
looks realistic enough....

I have never used two part epoxy to glue figures to bases although I have used it in the past to stick 28mm figures together when you get the ones split in the middle. In fact I've never even considered it and probably never will. I have always used contact adhesive and left if overnight to dry. Never had a problem. Which is lucky because it's a bitch to come off if you rebase. Fortunately I NEVER REBASE, EVER! Hates it! Hates it! Hates it!

New Ruleset checklist:
Point 1: Can I work them with 60x 40 bases in all the scales I need? Yes -read on; no -put back and look at another set.
Point 2: Can I write a better set? Probably, but it will take longer.

Oh, I forgot.
I use PVA and sand on the base then paint and drybrush as preferred. Bit of flock. Job done.
