Can I use hair dryer for resin?
Yes, you can use a hair dryer for resin, but there are some things to keep in mind. First, you need to make sure that the hair dryer is on the cool setting. If it's too hot, it can cause the resin to warp. Second, you need to hold the hair dryer about six inches away from the resin to avoid melting it. Finally, you need to be careful not to overheat the resin, as this can cause it to become brittle.

What temperature should I set my hair dryer to?
While there is no definitive answer to this question as it will vary depending on your hair type, texture, and overall style, there are some general guidelines you can follow when setting the temperature on your hair dryer. If you have fine or thin hair, you will want to set the temperature to a lower setting to avoid damaging your hair with too much heat. For thicker or coarser hair, you can set the temperature a bit higher as it can withstand more heat without being damaged. You should always start with the lowest setting and then increase the heat if needed. Another thing to keep in mind is that the colder the air setting, the faster your hair will dry. So if you are in a hurry, you can turn the temperature up to the highest setting. Just be sure to use a heat protectant product before using any high heat settings.
