What happens to resin if it has passed its shelf life?

When a product has exceeded its shelf life, the casting process can become unstable. Working time and demolding time will likely change as well.

Does temperature play a role in the casting process?

Temperature plays a major role when it comes to mixing and curing silicone, resin or epoxy. Heat and humidity can speed up your curing time and cooler temperatures will do the opposite and slow down your curing time.
