I've tried heating D2T resin and hardener in my microwave. If your resin has begun to turn solid white, that will make it liquid again, like you can do with honey that has begun to crystallize in the jar. But hot, not warm resin will also become very thin, almost like water while the hardener remains more viscous. That can cause problems with measuring unless you are using syringes. Another problem is hot epoxy will also cure much faster than epoxy at room temperature. My bottom line is you can warm D2T up to "room temperature" but if you go higher you start having problems. I just store D2T in the house and avoid the issues. The more you limit the things that can go wrong while building a crankbait, the happier you will be.

Smalljaw glad to hear. I was never so lucky with Barlows, and all my business goes to LPO. On another note , when stuff is back ordered, LPO usually ships the item when it comes in free of charge. I will not place an order twice from a company that doesn't have it in stock and pay shipping twice. LPO also has gone out of there way to special order things for me and when they don't have it, they tell me up front that it's not in stock and ship to me when it comes in.

if anyone's still interested, i got some different foils and cut them down for 2 inch cranks.

As Cadman already mentioned, you can do that. I do it on colors like Table Rock Shad which is a while belly, chartreuse body and a purple back. If I don't cure the chartreuse first, the purple over top of the chartreuse will turn brown when cured together so I do one then cure it again. I also do the same thing for the illusion paint, paint the vein base then cure for 10 minutes at 350 and let air cool and then go over with the candy color, it does the same thing, it keeps the top layer from blending with the bottom layer but it does bond together, it just doesn't allow the colors to bleed.

Nothing sticks to silicone but silicone itself.
