A little secret from the ResinPro team for those who want to get a perfectly glossy surface:
After mixing the two components, it is recommended to wait 10-15 minutes until a temperature of about 40 ° C is reached before casting.
This step will cause any bubbles to rise to the surface, and the pre-curing process will help avoid the influence of moisture on the resin and the appearance of dull areas or imperfections on the surface.
We have worked hard to create this ICrystal version with an unbeatable quality-price ratio!
The simple use ratio (2: 1) and the crystalline transparency of the resin are a real joy for all artists!
