Do i need to heat set this ink if prinintg on cardboard that might occasionally get light rain? If so, i dont have a heat press.

I would think yes. It would still be water soluble without it. One can use a heat gun for setting (be careful not to burn your cardboard), or maybe a sheet of parchment and an iron. -Just an educated guess.

Can you "dry" or "cure" speedball ink with a UV LED light?

I used this to make signs and just let IT dry and then quick sprayed clear coat on it. I do not think uv lights would work though

Can you water this ink down?

You can. I wouldn't because it's a water based ink that is water soluble. And I think if you water it down, even after you heat set it, when it's washed it will come off/out of the shirt or whatever you printed on.
