Instruction - HONEY EPOXY RESIN (HIGH VISCOSITY)
1. Pour component A into a clean and dry container and add component B in proportions 2 to 1. (For example, 100 grams of resin and 50 grams of hardener). Important! The specified proportions are calculated for weight (not volume!), use scales to measure the right amount required. The density of component A and B is different, so the proportions would be different if components were to be mixed based on their volume.
2. Mix two components slowly and thoroughly paying particular attention to corners of the container. If mixed poorly, the consequent casting may not harden; fast mixing will result in excessive amount of oxygen bubbles. If adding dyes, put one drop at a time until the desired shade is obtained. To ensure that your mixture is homogeneous and will harden perfectly, pour the mixture from one container into another and mix again.
3. Pour the resulting mixture on the surface or into a silicone mould of your choice. To avoid resin sticking to a surface, use Artline Wax Separator Spray Lubricant.
4. Oxygen bubbles may come up to the surface. If they do not disappear after 10-30 minutes, use a gas torch/burner or a technical dryer. A thin layer film may appear on the surface during the hardening process. Do not pay attention to it, it will disappear when casting solidifies completely. In case of castings thickness of which is less than 5 mm, it is recommended to warm up the resin in hot water (not more than 60 °C) before using; alternatively heat up already poured resin with a burner or a technical dryer. Otherwise, the resin may remain soft for 3 days or more. WARNING! It is not recommended to cast more than 10 kg at a time. Large quantities of resin must not be overheated.
5. Leave to harden for 24 hours at 23°C, protecting against dust. Humidity should remain below 50%! This is very important, otherwise the resin may not solidify. When pouring into porous surfaces, e.g. wood, concrete put a thin layer of resin first(priming the surface) to prevent oxygen bubbles from coming out later. After priming is finished you can pour the remaining part of resin.
Without prior priming, the bubbles may remain in the casting product may be damaged!
