Quick Tips & Best Practices
Professional tips from our technical experts to help you achieve better results.
Always pre-heat your mold to 25-30°C for better resin flow and reduced air entrapment.
Use a 2% catalyst ratio as a starting point, then adjust based on ambient temperature.
Apply mold release in thin, even coats and allow proper curing time between applications.
Monitor gel time closely - it should be 8-12 minutes at 25°C for optimal working time.
