Something else I found out about mixing talc into the resin is that it makes it brittle if too much is added. Gotta be careful! As far as temperature, I just use the thermometer on the wall. If it's below about 65 degrees, I know the resin will take longer to cure. In the summertime when it's 100+ I know it's going to set off pretty quick.
