Gel heating up

[sophs999]

Just want to pick all your brains... Why does gel heat up in uv lamp when building up/ doing a thick layer? Not something I've thought about but sometimes happens when doing my own nails

It's called 'heat spike'. If the gel is too thick the polymerisation process gives off heat. Try using thinner layers

Brill thanks. So best to do 2 layers rather than one.
