FAQs
1.HOW TO DEAL WITH BUBBLES GENERATED DURING GLUE MIXING?
Generally speaking, it is relatively difficult to defoam Epoxy resin 1:1. There are some details before stirring that can help you eliminate bubbles, such as ① Preheating: Preheat the glue to 40-50℃ before stirring to make it thinner. ② Technique: Stir the glue slowly and keep stirring clockwise. The speed should be reduced during stirring to avoid rapid stirring and carrying a large number of air bubbles. ③ Equipment: If conditions permit, try to use a vacuum device to remove the bubbles after stirring. This will have the best effect. ④ Fire baking: After dripping the glue, you can use a lighter or a fire gun to defoam quickly and effectively.
2.ARE BOND CRAFTOR EPOXY PRODUCTS UV RESISTANT?
Our products all contain the most advanced UV stabilizers and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers). This means that the yellowing process is slowed down and give an excellent protection to sunlight. Even though our products are UV and yellow resistants, we do not recommend having your project under direct sunlight as to extend the longevity of the product.
3.WHITE CHUNKS HAVE BUILT UP IN MY RESIN (A) BOTTLE, IS THIS NORMAL?
First, no problem! It can be fixed easily. This is called crystallization, a fairly rare phenomenon which can happen to any epoxy resin product. Before using an epoxy product, always inspect the bottom of the Resin (A) bottle for crystals (white-looking chunks). If present, it's easy to fix: place the bottle in the warmest sink water, a few inches deep, for about 30-60m, keeping the water hot throughout and shaking the bottle occasionally. The chunks will dissolve back to their original liquid chemistry, and the product can then be used normally once it comes back down to room temperature.
4.CAN I USE COLOR PIGMENTS WITH YOUR EPOXY RESIN?
Yes, you can use many coloring products made for epoxy resin such as mica powder pigments, alcohol inks and dyes. e recommend to had the colors gradually until you get the desired opacity, as to ensure that you don’t add too much of it which could lead to difficulties in curing.
5. WHAT IS UV RESIN, AND HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM EPOXY RESINS?
UV resin is a type of resin that cures quickly when exposed to ultravilet light. Unlike epoxy resins that may reguire longer curing times and heat, UV resin solidifies rapidly under UV light, making it a more convenient option for smaller projects.
