Soft & Sticky Castings: Is a result of improper mixing or inaccurate measurements of resin and hardener. These soft or sticky castings will unfortunately have to be disposed of. Prevention: Do not guess at the proper ratio or just empty the two bottles into your mixing container. Use a proper measuring device and measure equal portions of resin and hardener. Always double mix as per the instructions. Note: Inadequate measuring and mixing is the most common reason for imperfect results.
Tiny Bubbles / Cloudy Clear Castings: This is a result of mixing cold EasyCast. Prevention: Warm EasyCast as stated in the instructions prior to using.
EasyCast set before completely poured: This is the result of mixed EasyCast left setting in a mixing container too long after mixing. Prevention: Always pour EasyCast immediately once mixed.
Cloudy Resin: Due to the purity of EasyCast resin, a clouding or settling of the resin may occur from storing in cold conditions. This is a normal process and does not affect the outcome of this product. Should this occur, simply set the resin container in hot tap water until clear. Allow to cool before using. Prevention: Store in warm area and off of cold floors.
COMPATIBILITY ISSUES:
EasyCast casting epoxy can be safely applied to cured polyester casting resin. CAUTION: Do not attempt to pour polyester casting resin over EasyCast. Polyester casting resin will attack and soften EasyCast. |
