Cover working area with cardboard or plastic. The surface to be coated should be dry and free of contaminants.
For best results, pour at temperatures between 15-20 Degrees C (volume and depth dependent) and below 70% humidity. Like most deep cast resins. Air bubbles may form on the surface. Air bubble release is greatly enhanced by use of a heat gun or gas torch.
Care should be taken to avoid over heating in one spot – sweep the heat gun continuously across the surface for a few seconds.
Please Note: Deep Cast Resins are environment dependant the larger the pour the more attention you need to pay to your environment . Temperature is critical and therefore environment control is highly recommended. For optimal results, do not pour large volumes outside of the recommended temperature and humidity ranges.
