Advices for Use
- For best results, measure the correct mixing ratio of the two components by weight.
- Always mix the product thoroughly for at least 2 minutes, scraping all surfaces of the container to ensure even mixing.
- Use the product in a temperature-controlled environment within the product's optimum usage limits. Avoid cold ambient temperatures or high humidity.
- For optimum curing performance, ensure that surfaces are dry and free from dirt, debris and/or traces of oil. Surface preparation by sanding is strongly recommended.
- Carry out preliminary tests with the materials and processes you are considering to fully understand the curing characteristics of the resin in your working environment and the compatibility of the resin with other materials.
