I'm casting PU-resins from Smooth On, and due to living in a country with high moisture I'm strongly considering moving my operation inside. I do have a pressure pot where I put my parts to cure, but that still leaves fumes from mixing and pouring, and since the only spaces I can cast in is the living room, I'd like to not contaminate the area too bad.

How have you dealt with fumes when casting indoors? I'm considering a simple fume hood for the pouring at this point.

I'm casting Smooth On's task 3 and 61D and need to mix them to very specific skin tones. I'm using Smooth On's Uvo for this. If I pour some of the B side into a cup and mix in the colorants, would it be possible to store the B-mixture in the cup for a longer time if it's sealed (at least for one day or so, so I can cast all the parts I need from it)

​

In an ideal situation I would be able to mix the colorants into the correct dosages so I have a premade shade, but I don't have enough material to test it. If someone has some kind of trick or tool for that, I would greatly appreciate any tips on that too.
