THE PRODUCT TOTALCAST

That's it.

TOTALCAST is a crystal clear, ASTM certified, two part resin. It is well suited for embellishing artworks and embedding objects and is among the highest quality resins on the international market. Working with TOTALCAST means: easy and safe application - impressive and high-gloss results.

It can.

TOTALCAST becomes a hard and glassy varnish when its two individual components are mixed together. It also offers the best possible protection against yellowing. This is ensured by so-called UV stabilizers: Our products contain a UV absorber and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer), which provide maximum protection against yellowing.

That's what it's for.

TOTALCAST is particularly useful when you want to coat or embed (cast) something. This is due to its unique clarity and transparency.

Use this high-quality resin as a coating, sealing and finishing for your artwork. For example on photos, prints, canvas, wood, MDF, glass, Plexiglas, concrete or metal.

TOTALCAST is also the right resin for you for making jewelry and embedding objects.

Particularities.

TOTALCAST has a rather short processing time of up to 20 minutes. This has the advantage that your objects dry faster and are therefore less susceptible to dust or other external influences.

Measure, mix and process TOTALCAST

1.) TOTALCAST resin and hardener are mixed by volume 1:1. Place the two components in a suitable mixing cup.

2.) Stir the measured amount in the mixing cup. Use a plastic spatula for this. Stir slowly and thoroughly for 3-5 minutes; also on the bottom and edges of the mixing cup.

3.) Your mix is ??ready and you now have 15-20 minutes to process the resin. After that it becomes too thick and begins to harden.

4.) You have prepared your painting surface beforehand, which means: it has been dusted off, degreased and is lying flat on your work surface.
Coating: Now pour the synthetic resin mixture onto the painting surface. Resin is self-leveling and will spread itself over a smooth, flat surface. but you are welcome to help with a spatula. Pour in: your painting surface is prepared and also has a frame so that the resin does not flow away. Pour resin onto the canvas; a layer structure is possible in several layers. Depending on the volume, note the maximum layer thickness of 1-2 cm. As soon as the first layer is bone dry (after about 4-5 hours) you can pour the next layer. The individual casting steps are not visible from above. A slight optical thermocline can only be seen in the planes when viewed from the side.

5.) TOTALCAST is a high-quality product that produces only small bubbles, if any. If bubbles appear, simply remove them with the heat of a Bunsen burner or a heat gun. To do this, move about 10 cm away from the resin surface in swinging movements.

6.) Protect your work from dust or other foreign objects by working in an environment that is as dust-free as possible. Cover it when it's done.

7.) The best way to clean the hardened surface is with a damp Cloth.

You should pay attention to this:

Although our resins are formulated with the most advanced and safest epoxy chemistry available, you should handle all epoxy resins responsibly and be proactive about your safety:

• Always wear nitrile gloves.

• When sanding cured resin, wear a dust mask, and better yet, wear safety goggles.

• It is advisable to work in a well-ventilated area and to wear a Respirator.

• Avoid skin contact (if resin gets on skin, wash with plenty of soap and water).

• DO NOT eat, drink or smoke while working.

• If eyes get dirty, wash with plenty of water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.

• Adding inks/varnishes/mica powder/glitter to epoxy changes its properties and may reduce its non-toxicity. If using alcohol inks, DO NOT use a flame to remove bubbles as alcohol is flammable.
