Hi all, If I recall correctly the goal was to place different colors marbles in holes; not necessarily in a random manner. Thinking in terms of catalyzed epoxies or other adhesives where there is actually a reaction the speed of the reaction roughly doubles for increase of 10 C in temp. Being impatient I often cure epoxy at ~ 75 C. which just happens to be as low as I can set the oven.
