Tips for using heat-resistant epoxy resin
As mentioned earlier, to achieve the best results, please always follow the provided instructions correctly. Any deviation will not produce the expected results. Based on your project, only mix the amount you need so that you can work effectively within the required time.
Preparation is crucial, as time is crucial in this process.
Have a workbench of appropriate height to avoid any back pain.
Before starting, apply some isopropanol to the cloth and wipe off any dust particles.
Use a timer during mixing to ensure accuracy and achieve uniform consistency.
Pay attention to the temperature and humidity in the studio, as this can have an impact on the product. Epoxy resin may exhibit adhesive or waxy appearance. At colder temperatures, you can minimize the possibility of this happening by heating the resin before mixing with the curing agent.
If you did use a brush during this process, please ensure that it is a high-quality brush that will not shed hair. Try using a black brush so that if it does fall off, you can easily spot it and remove it from the mixture.
You can try blowing bubbles with a cocktail stick or using a small blowtorch for a few seconds. Maintain a distance of at least 20 centimeters from the flashlight to avoid any dents. Also, if alcohol ink is added during coloring, it is best not to use flame. You can also try using the highest setting hair dryer, but this will take longer.
When using a blowtorch, please stay away from your project and start it. This ensures that any dust or other particles are blown away from your work, rather than falling on it.
Cure your resin project in a dust-free area.
Please note that by adding additives such as pigments or powders, you can change the chemical properties of the epoxy resin. This reduces its non-toxicity and reduces its heat resistance. Add a transparent top layer so that hot objects can be placed on it.
Afterwards, you can use acetone to clean the epoxy resin that is still wet. If drying on the floor, heat with a blowtorch and scrape off with a screwdriver.
