Question about the product "Mountains in Minutes

[Anonymous]

I would like to try the product called Mountains in Minutes. I read somewhere where it said that when using this product that the warmer the room temperature is, the better results one will get. My question is what would be considered as the ideal room temperature when using this product? Also, would humidity be a crucial factor in obtaining satisfactory results?

I have no direct experience with this product, but most things designed for use indoors would like a temperature of about 20*C ( 68*F), with a moderate amount of humidity (30 - 35%...?). My basement is getting more humid now that winter is over, and I defintitely notice longer drying times for my glues and paints.

This might be a bit obvious, but are there recommendations on the product as to temp and humidity versus drying time...?

Hope that helps.

I have no experience with Mountains in Minutes, but believe it is the same thing that you can get at Home Depot or other home improvement store as expandable styrofoam in a can. Is Mountains in Minutes even available anymore? I don't recall ever seeing it advertised recently.

I used mountain in minutes once thinking it would be quicker than foam or plaster and once was enough...i'm one of those "more is better" kind 'a guys and did i ever make a mess...the stuff grew so big that i had to trash a lot of it because the mountain got out of scale...use it sparingly..but better yet...just use regular sheets of foam to build your mountains... it's more controllable. ..and a whole lot less messy...if you do use the mountains in minutes, be sure to wear gloves that you can throw away...you'll be scraping your fingers with a knife for about three days afterwards to get it off your skin...nothing desolves it once it dries to your fingers.... it has a base that is the same base as in AC glue and you know what that will do to your fingers when you get it on them...[:D]
