Thanks, Dan.

I did just like you said and it still didn't work.

I think maybe you have had to much "Giggle" lately.

Hi Raymond,

I think Dan was correct on the timing, and I think you were correct that Dan has had too much 'Giggle' lately.

Well, the dialogue was good for a few giggles.

I'm going to take a stab at your question. I'm assuming what you are refering to as 'doming' is the use of resin on the top of letters to round over the edges, correct?

If so, the resin is usually a polyester laminating resin used with mekp. On thin applications such as this the resin will cure in 1 - 2 hours.

I would leave it overnight though, since thin applications of resin take longer to cure.

If this isn't the information your looking for, and the process in question is different, please post detailed information.
