INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Clean the surface you are going to work on
2. Lift the item to be coated so that the resin flows down its sides. You can use plastic cups for this purpose and place them about 5 cm away from the edges so that excess liquid does not run down and stick the cups to the workpiece
3. Mix the two components well to avoid, as far as possible, the formation of bubbles or poor curing
4. Pour the mixture in a circular pattern from the edge towards the centre
5. Spread a thin layer on the surface. Use a plastic spatula to help spread the mixture
6. Apply heat with a blowtorch at a distance of about 10 cm to remove the burrs and not burn the surface. Do this in a quick, even motion
7. Allow to cure for about 72 hours

TIPS AND TRICKS

• Pigment the resin with specific dyes to obtain a wide range of colours and decorative effects
• Mix the resin slowly for about 3 minutes to prevent bubbles from forming
• For painted surfaces, sand before applying the resin
• After curing, if soft spots appear, scrape off, reapply the mixture and allow to cure
