Just a note of caution:

    Although we, in our field, deal with many procedures that, if not
    used safely, could cause us physcial harm, curing urethane in our
    studios is not a safe procedure. Lee Marshall's (designer of Bonny
    Doon hydraulic presses) experience with curing urethane resulted in
    some fairly severe, some temporary, some permanent and almost fatal,
    physical damage. 

    Unless you are completely certain that all fumes from the process
    are being vented out of your breathing space, it is not recommended
    that you attempt to pour and cure urethane. 

    If any of you out there in the Orchid 'ether' is aware of a safe
    method for dealing with urethane curing, please respond to this
    message. Unless you are into Russian roulette, i.e. gambling with
    your health and life, forget about saving a few bucks. Save your life
    by buying your urethane already in cured form.
