Surface Preparation: To achieve excellent adhesion, the substrate must be free of all loose and foreign material and should be clean. Oils, Grease, waxes or other contaminates must be removed prior to coating.

Mixing: The storage temperature of Crystal Ice Casting Epoxy will greatly affect the ease of mixing, application and curing time. For best Results, Crystal Ice should be stored at 70-80°F for at least 24  hours before use.

Mix 2 parts A (resin) to 1 part B (hardener) by volume  using a spatula or stir stick until uniform. Be sure to scrape sides of the mixing container while mixing (any unmixed or partially mixed material will cause wet spots on finished surface) DO NOT mix more material than can be used withing the stated working time. REMEMBER - you will have less working time at higher temperatures. 

Application: Crystal Ice casting epoxy can be applied with a foam brush/roller or squeegee. Usually material is applied in stages with no pour thicker than 1.5 inches (unless casting can be cooled). recoats can be applied as soon as current layer has "tacked up". If your previous layer has fully cured then very light sanding with a fine grit (220) sandpaper followed by a solvent wipe(isopropyl alcohol or acetone) is necessary before application of subsequent layer. A heat gun or torch may be used after the pour is completed and the material is still liquid to burst/pop any remaining air bubbles. If a torch is used the flame should never come in direct contact with the epoxy, smooth strokes 6-12 inches above the material is all that is required. 

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

• Mix and pour in a well-ventilated area.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact does occur, wash skin with soap and water and seek medical help.
• Read and understand all CAUTIONS on container labels and safety data sheets before using this material.
• Avoid breathing of vapors.
• Forced local exhaust is recommended to effectively minimize exposure.
• NIOSH approved, organic vapor respirators and forced exhaust are recommended in confined areas, or when conditions (such as heated polymers, sanding) may cause high vapor concentrations.

DO NOT WELD ON, BURN OR TORCH ON OR NEAR ANY EPOXY MATERIAL. HAZARDOUS VAPOR IS RELEASED WHEN AN EPOXY IS BURNED.
