I don't think how far or near they are the light source is the problem. Proper timing is the solution. I cure mine half an inch from my bulb.
Thank you guys,ill check for sure tonight.

Also,im working on this. Its turned yellow because I forgot to cure them far from the uv light. But honestly,i like how they turned out 🪩

Light intensity for sure plays a role. Distance from the source can lessen the intensity in a very uncontrollable way. A 40W LED is not going to penetrate like a 80-100W LED. That being said, you are spot on about timing. I find on clears and whites, I have to dial back light intensity to 75-80% and then hit it with 100% for the final 15 seconds.

I cure my lacquer on every color the same length :D But that is given that I have my own curing stations that I build myself and been using for years. Lacquer curing is all the same for me unlike shells. :D
