Application RAPIDO Resin

Please wear nitrile gloves when working with RAPIDO Resin and ensure good ventilation.
Step 1: To color RAPIDO Resin, add selected pigments to the resin before adding the hardener in a 1:1 ratio by weight.
Water-based pigments are not suitable for RAPIDO Resin. They react with the resin and form foam. What works well for this resin: Epoxy pastes, pearlescent pigments such as our resi-TINT Max pigment pastes or other non-water based pigments.
Step 2: Mix well both RAPIDO components including the pigments for about two minutes. You will feel the exothermic reaction start immediately. The mixing cup will therefore become warmer and warmer during mixing.
Step 3: If you want to include the mixing cup in your artwork, leave the mixture in this cup. If you want to "solid pour" another vessel, then transfer your RAPIDO mixture now.
Step 4: Check to see when the resin begins to thicken. This happens a few seconds after mixing. You can feel it very clearly: the mixing cup gets really hot at the end. Don't worry, this is normal, your mixture will neither boil nor burn.
Step 5: As soon as your RAPIDO mixture has become thicker, you can pour it (please pour slowly). RAPIDO Resin gels very quickly, within seconds. So it will falter while flowing if you pour it slowly.
Step 6: RAPIDO Resin hardens very quickly. Nevertheless, please hold your mixing cup (or vessel) for about 5 to 10 minutes. This will ensure that everything stays in place; where you want it. This resin will be dry to the touch after about 15 minutes.
