Applying the glossy coat



Application of the Gloss Coat

Applying the gloss coat on epoxy resin or silicone rubber is a crucial step to give the finished product a shiny aesthetic appearance and extra protection. It involves spreading a thin layer of specific usually colorless product on the already dry and hardened surface using a spatula or brush. The drying time varies depending on the product used.

Tutorial for Applying Transparent Resin

Applying transparent resin requires attention and precision. Start by preparing the surface, cleaning and drying it to remove dust and moisture. Then, wear gloves and mix the resin with the hardener following the manufacturer's instructions. Apply the mixture with a brush or spatula, distributing it evenly. Finally, let it dry for the specified time in a dust-free environment. Once hardened, the transparent resin will provide a glossy and protective finish to the surface.

Techniques for Applying Gloss Paint

Applying gloss paint requires specific techniques to achieve an optimal result. First and foremost, it's essential to thoroughly clean the surface to be painted to remove dust and dirt. If necessary, apply a primer and let it dry. The gloss paint should then be applied with soft brushes or short-nap rollers to avoid air bubble formation. Remember to apply the paint in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next, and finish with a final coat of paint to enhance the shine.

Guidelines for Using Resin Pigments

Using pigments in resin requires attention and precision. Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary materials: resin, pigments, measuring tools, and mixing containers. Next, mix the resin and catalyst as instructed by the manufacturer. Gradually add the pigment until you achieve the desired color, ensuring thorough mixing for even distribution. Note that pigments can alter the resin's consistency, so adjust the quantity accordingly. Finally, pour the mixture into your mold and let it cure as indicated.
