Eli-Chem Resins - TotalCast Clear Artwork Resin Tester Kit (500g) - Resin & Hardener

TotalCast Resin is an optically clear, high-gloss, hybrid polymer resin system which is especially suitable for the protection and decoration of artwork, paintings or sculptures as it provides a tough coating with good abrasion resistance. It is easy to use because it cures at ambient temperatures and is self-levelling. The resin is non-flammable, odour-free and has no solvent content. It is also free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), is non-toxic and has non-yellowing properties. It is perfect for use on all art surfaces including canvas, wood, MDF and photographs, and can be used over acrylic, oil, watercolour and enamel paint.

As with all resins, this is very sticky - we advise that you wear disposable gloves while using the product.

This 500g kit consists of 250g of each component (Resin & Hardener). The Mixing Ratio is 1 : 1

Please note, the mixing ratio must be accurately followed. It is not possible to change the ratio. This would adversely affect the mechanical properties of the resin and would lead to it not drying properly. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred (mix for 3-4 mins) to ensure full homogeneity. Polymer systems tend to heat up much faster in a pot than as a thin film. Therefore mix only the necessary amount usable within the given pot life.

Use Instructions:	The system can be applied by hand-pouring or by brush/roller. Mix to the ratio of 1:1 (by volume or weight) until it is a uniform colour & consistency (3-4 minutes is usually sufficient). Ensure your piece is perfectly flat and level, otherwise the resin will run to the lowest point and “pool” in the centre, leaving too little resin at the corners. On large canvas paintings you should tighten the canvas as much as possible or place a board underneath to support it uniformly. Any bubbles created by hand-mixing can be easily popped by using a sharp object or by passing warm air over the surface of the resin (use a blowtorch or a hairdryer on a low setting. Don't hold a blowtorch or hairdryer closer than 30cm to your artwork, otherwise you risk creating ripples and dimples in the resin finish.) You will need to protect the piece from dust accumulation for at least 8-12hrs. You can do this by using a dust sheet or a box to cover the piece. All mixing containers and tools can be cleaned with Acetone or cellulose thinners.
