My quart of Solarez came yesterday. Note that it requires a small amount of MEKP as a catalyst. A respirator is recommended when using MEKP:

It's also very explosive:

I'll report back with results shortly!

Crap, Home Depot has moved to "MEK substitute". Looks like I need to find a specialty store.

Quoted from btw75:

I didn't use it - it hardened fine.

Thanks for the heat tip. I used UV for 5 minutes and it hardened okay, but it has a slight blue cast and is a little "rubbery". But I assume this flexibility is good. I'll try it tonight on my Buccaneer's ball-trap inserts.

Quoted from KingNine:

Just look half way down on the previous page. There is a huge picture of the bottle of solarez we used and plenty of how to pictures. I bought it on amazon. Just make sure you buy the one that is what I have pictured and not the one that needs the MEK the other guy got.

I bought the exact same thing you did. I'm not sure why I got different results, but I'll play with it some more this weekend. I'd like to finish up my Buccaneer.

Quoted from KingNine:

The solarez we used didn't require the MEK. You must of purchased one of their many other versions. Also it hardened completely

Nope, exact same thing. This is the lamp I used:
