Aphrodite Fusion cast is a two-component, low odor, solvent free, clear casting epoxy!

 Its ideal for casting small decorative items, such as jewelry gems and beads, kitchen and bathroom knobs, hobby parts, etc. 

 

Aphrodite Fusion cast  with  opaque pigments for solid colors, or transparent dyes for that colored glass look. Ideal for flexible rubber molds since there are no shrinkage or surface curing issues (tackiness). 

INSTRUCTIONS:

Aphrodite Fusion cast was designed for a maximum glossy and scratch proof.

1. IMPORTANT: Aphrodite Fusion cast performs best at 75° F / 24° C. Aphrodite Fusion cast bottles should feel slightly warm to the touch, if they feel cool, they must be warmed by placing them in warm tap water (not hot) for 5 to 10 minutes prior to using. If bottles become overheated, allow them to cool before using. 

2. MEASURE: Carefully measure  amounts of resin ( 1 ) and hardener ( 0.4 )into a straight sided, flat bottom, wax free measuring container. WARNING: Do not vary the 1 to 0.4 ratio for any reason! Failure to measure equal amounts of resin and hardener will result in soft or sticky castings. Do not simply pour the contents of both bottles and expect to get properly measured amounts, always measure!

3. DOUBLE MIXING (REQUIRED): For Aphrodite Fusion cast. to chemically blend, it must be mixed together in two stages. With the resin and hardener measured, use a stir stick and mix together for two full minutes. During mixing, use the stir stick to scrape the sides and bottom of your mixing container. Occasionally scrape the mixture from your stir stick back into the solution. After two full minutes of mixing, pour the contents from the first container into a second container. Using a new stir stick, mix the contents of this second container another minute, again scraping sides of container and stir stick. Pour immediately from this second container.

4. BUBBLES: Aphrodite Fusion cast  has been formulated to self degas within a few minutes of pouring under most casting conditions. However adding fillers such as granite or metallic powders can result in a cloudy, bubble filled mixture. These bubbles will slowly rise to the surface of your cast. If needed use a hair dryer and pass heated air quickly over the Aphrodite Fusion cast  surface to remove bubbles. Be careful, excess heat can melt or warp plastic molds.

5. CURE: For best results, cast pieces should cure at temperatures between 70° F / 21° C and 85° F / 29° C. Curing time will vary depending on room temperature and thickness of cast. Thin castings will take longer than thick castings. Normal cure for castings 1" thick is 24 hours for soft cure, 72 hours for hard cure.

6. DE-MOLDING: Rigid type plastic molds can usually be twisted slightly to break the cast pieces free. Pushing in from the back side of the mold will also help. Note: Do not attempt to de-mold pieces that have not cured for a minimum of 24 hours. You may damage your casting by doing so.

7. TRIM & SAND EDGES: Edges can be trimmed with a knife or sanded if needed. Use 150 grit or finer sandpaper to remove excess material. A file, sander or Dremel tool can be used for shaping and carving completely cured castings.

8. CLEAN UP: While liquid, the material can be cleaned from tools with alcohol or solvent. Use warm water and liquid soap to clean from skin.
