Cure

The process of hardening gel products by exposing them to UV or LED light.

Curing is the chemical hardening of gel under a lamp. Under-curing leaves product soft and can cause allergic reactions; over-curing can cause heat spikes. Correct cure times for the specific product and lamp are essential.
