I finished my first latex tail and now I know it needs to cure a while before I use it. I know latex cures faster in heat (like if I'd made a mask I could put it in a low-temp oven for a few hours) - so I'm wondering, I live in Florida, would leaving it outside in the sun be a good idea? Right now I have it in a room in my house, I closed off the air vents so the ac doesn't get in there (it's about 90degrees) with a little fan blowing on it. Any advice on this part of the process??

Thanks! /Egypt

the sun can degrade the latex so Id leave it as is :)

I would leave my latex moulds curing in the sun ans they turned out fine. What kind of latex is it?

Casting latex; and acrylics mixed with latex paint base. Is there any way to know for sure it's ready to swim in?
