    There is, in fact, quite a lot of heat given off in the chemical
    processes involved , and I would hate for anyone to accidently ruin
    a precious object. It is, of course, nothing like as hot as
    kiln-fired vitreous enamels, but this would be little consolation in
    such circumstances. You need also to consider the potential
    corrosiveness of the resin; if it takes the skin off your fingers,
    and the lining off your lungs, then it's a fair bet that it is not
    going to do much for fine wood ... 

    I very much enjoy working with resin, but doing it well requires a
    great deal of time, effort and systematic attention to health and
    safety issues. best wishes 

Stevie
