Epoxy Casting Resin Set – 1 kg Resin + 0.5 kg Hardener S49

A clear, UV-stabilised epoxy casting resin system consisting of 1 kg epoxy resin 100 and 0.5 kg hardener S49. It cures slowly: air bubbles have time to rise, and layers of up to 3 cm can be poured in one go. This makes it a suitable carrier for our glow pigments and glow granules.

Properties

• Mixing ratio: 100 : 47 by weight (resin : hardener)
• Layer thickness: up to 3 cm in one pour
• Pot life: approx. 12 h 40 min at 20 °C, approx. 2 h 20 min at 30 °C (1,000 g mix, according to the technical data sheet)
• Curing: at room temperature; fully chemically cured after approx. 14 days at a minimum of 23 °C; post-curing above 40 °C possible
• Appearance: highly transparent and UV-stabilised
• Applications: cast and art objects, jewellery, decoration, filling tree trunks, furniture coatings and sealing

How to use the casting resin

1. Weigh out resin and hardener in a ratio of 100 : 47 by weight – for example 200 g resin and 94 g hardener.
2. Stir thoroughly and slowly, including the sides and bottom. Details are given in the enclosed instructions.
3. For glow effects, let the mixed resin thicken slightly so that it becomes a little thicker, then stir in the pigment. As a starting point, approx. 20% pigment relative to the resin; test on a small sample first.
4. Pour and leave to cure at room temperature. Rising air bubbles can be removed with a heat gun.
5. Pour objects thicker than 3 cm in several layers.

Tip: Pigments sink in thin, runny resin. If you want an evenly glowing surface, add the pigment to a separate top layer.
