Why is that the heat helps in this case?. It happened to me with other resins. What does the heat actually do? Does some component need to evaporate? Fully cure? Please explain a little further if you don’t mind please?

For the reduction of ambering in the Clear V2 blu, do you put it in the sun for 30 minutes INSTEAD of putting it in a LED UV curing chamber? Or do you cure as normal and then put it in the sun?

Thanks! Is this processing done after normal curing (washing with alcohol and UV chamber) or instead of it?

Instead of under sunlight, will leaving it under a UV light provide the same result? Or will that re-yellow the part?
