How to use:

DIPON® DiamondCraft UV Resin is ready-mixed and should be warmed up to at least 20°C (recommended 25°C) before use to promote its self-venting ability. DIPON® DiamondCraft UV Resin should be warmed up to at least 20°C before use, e.g. by means of a ten-minute water bath at approx. 45-60°C, 25°C is an ideal final product temperature to promote its self venting properties. Press DIPON® DiamondCraft UV Resin slowly out of the bottle to avoid excessive bubble formation. ATTENTION: Store material in original bottle and protect from direct UV radiation. The max. tested casting height is 2 cm (20 mm). DIPON® DiamondCraft UV Resin should not be mixed with solvents, as these can cause irreparable damage to the workpiece due to the heat generated during the curing process and can produce gases that are harmful to health. Depending on the UV radiation and lamp intensity, the workpiece may initially have a slightly yellowish appearance, which changes to a diamond-clear appearance after complete cooling. Time specifications UV lamp 9w-36w: approx. 90-180 seconds depending on lamp power, various preliminary tests necessary as the power can vary depending on the manufacturer. Optionally, it is possible to cure the workpiece in daylight. 

Notes for opaque colours: With opaque colours it is necessary to cast the material in several layers and possibly also to irradiate the reverse side. The material hardens through UV radiation, which is hardly possible with opaque colours.
