Granules Application using RESINPRO’s epoxy resins

Application of Granular Epoxy Resin

The application of granular resin is a fairly simple procedure that can be carried out even by non-professionals. It starts with preparing the surface, which must be clean, dry, and free from impurities. Next, the granular resin is mixed with the appropriate catalyst, following the manufacturer's instructions carefully. The resulting mixture is then spread on the surface using a spatula. Finally, the hardening process begins, which may take several hours or even days depending on the type of granular resin used.

Epoxy Resin Application Tutorial

Applying epoxy resin can be done simply and safely by following some fundamental steps. It is important to prepare the surface to be coated by ensuring it is clean and dry. The next step involves mixing the resin components according to the proportions specified by the manufacturer. Once the mixture is ready, apply the resin to the surface using a spatula or brush. Allow the product to cure for the necessary time, avoiding exposure to heat sources.

Techniques for Creating Silicone Molds

Creating silicone molds involves several phases. Firstly, prepare the object to be reproduced and build a container around it. Then, mix the silicone rubber following the manufacturer's instructions and pour it into the container, making sure the object is fully covered. Once the silicone rubber has solidified, remove the original object, obtaining a detailed mold ready for use.

Using Pigments for DIY Resin

Using pigments in DIY resin is an effective way to customize your projects. Mixing pigments with resin before curing allows for unique colorations. Add pigments in small quantities, usually not more than 2-3% of the total weight of the resin. It is important to mix thoroughly to ensure even coloring. Always remember to wear gloves and a mask when handling pigments and resin.

Practical Tips for Applying Granular Resin

Granular resin, composed of epoxy resin and granules of various sizes, is ideal for creating hard and decorative surfaces. Here are some practical tips for application:
- Prepare the surface, ensuring it is clean, dry, and free from dust
- Mix the resin and granules according to the recommended proportions
- Apply the mixture evenly with a spatula or brush for uniformity
- Level the surface carefully for a homogeneous result
- Follow the drying and curing times indicated by the manufacturer
By following these tips, you can achieve optimal results with granular resin.

- Granular Resin Application on Smooth Surfaces

Granular resin is ideal for application on smooth surfaces due to its adhesion and resistance properties. Before applying, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from residues. Apply the product evenly, paying attention to details for uniform coverage. Allow it to dry completely following the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.

- Techniques for Applying Granular Resin on Wood

To properly apply granular resin on wood, it is essential to follow specific techniques. Start by preparing the surface by sanding the wood and removing any residues. Apply a specific primer to enhance resin adhesion. Pour the granular resin on the surface evenly, spreading it with a brush or spatula. Remove air bubbles with a flame torch or fine bristle brush. Finally, let it dry and cure completely following the manufacturer's instructions.
