Art & Craft Resin, up to 1 cm

With a larger quantity, the processing time and the curing time are shorter!

If you have little experience, we recommend not processing the maximum amount at once.

If you still want to do this, work at 18°C with a large diameter mixing bucket and take into account a very short processing time!

Important: The higher the room temperature (>21 °C) and the larger the amount of casting, the lower the casting height should be. Epoxy resin reacts faster, especially in summer, which can lead to undesirable results.

With large quantities, such as 30 kg, overreactions can occur despite a reduced layer height. We therefore recommend pouring in two layers or using a resin system for larger layer thicknesses. Note: Temperature, pouring volume and layer height are crucial for best results.

Make sure the surface is dense and non-porous. This can cause air bubbles in the epoxy. To do this, use a thin layer of epoxy or primer.

Always use protective gloves and goggles when handling this material. Process the resin at room temperature (18 - 25 ° C) and humidity of less than 70%. To avoid deformation of the surface, the temperature must remain constant throughout the curing process. Also avoid direct sunlight through a window and avoid drafts.

Mix the A and B components in the correct ratio (A : B = 100 : 100 by volume) and mix well. Allow enough time to mix (2 - 3 minutes) and make sure to include the corners and bottom of the mixing bowl. Optionally, pour the whole thing into a second bowl and mix again. Now add all the color effects and stir again. Allow air bubbles to escape for a minute. If necessary, help by vibrating / rattling the cup. Make sure the product does not get too hot!


The epoxy resin is now ready to use. Apply the mixture with a brush/roller or pour the mixture with a thin stream into the desired mold or prepared model.


Make sure to use a large-bottomed mixing bowl for larger quantities. Avoid a thick layer in the mixing bowl as this will heat up very quickly!

Removing air bubbles is best done with an epoxy deaerator or with a flame. Please do not use flames if you have diluted the epoxy resin with alcohol or other flammable products.


If you want to apply the resin in several layers (multi-layer work):

Wet on wet:

When pouring a second layer of liquid into a first layer of epoxy liquid, you need to make sure that the exothermic reaction is completely worn off. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy. In this case, heat.
If you want to be sure, wait until the second coat is no longer tacky but you still see a fingerprint in the epoxy.

Wet on dry:

The previous layer must be sanded and made free of dust and grease.

Bemerken Sie, dass die Harz-Komponente weiss und flockig ist, handelt es sich um kristallisiertes Harz.

Bei der Kristallisation von Epoxidharz handelt es sich um einen physikalischen Vorgang, der durch externe Faktoren wie Kälte oder Temperaturschwankungen hervorgerufen wird. Es ist völlig umkehrbar und ähnelt dem Einfrieren von Wasser. Die wesentlichen Ursachen sind:

1. Zu niedrige Temperaturen: Bei Lagerung oder Transport können Kristalle bei Temperaturen unter 15 °C entstehen.

2. Temperaturschwankungen: Die Entstehung von Kristallen wird durch regelmäßige Wechsel zwischen warm und kalt vorangetrieben.
    Hohe Harzreinheit: Epoxidharz mit hoher Reinheit neigt eher zur Kristallisation.
3. Niedrige Viskosität: Harze mit dünnflüssiger Flüssigkeit bilden tendenziell eher Kristalle.

Diese Reaktion tritt bei extrem tiefen Temperaturen auf und kann durch ein Wasserbad (etwa 60 Minuten/50 °C) umgekehrt werden. 

Hier einfach den verschlossenen Harzbehälter ins Wasserbad legen. Danach werden sie das Harz auf die normale Raumtemperatur zurück kühlen lassen.
