Have fun with these products but remember that in the liquid state, the resin and hardener should be considered toxic and handled with caution, such as using gloves and eye protection and working in a ventilated area. Once the resin and hardener have been correctly mixed and fully cured, the result is a stable and inert plastic that is not toxic. It is suitable for incidental food contact purposes (short term) such as cutting boards but these epoxies do not have FDA or Food Safe certifications which may be required for commercial applications. For longevity, cutting boards and similar items should be washed by hand in warm water and not in dish washing machines.

Bio-based, clear, UV stable epoxy for castings of 10 to 15mm thickness using the SD7160 hardener. This system is easily pigmented with a range of epoxy pigments for translucent, opaque and luminous effects. This product has been designed as a casting resin, not a coating resin.

Curing Time – Depends on the ambient temperature but around 12hrs to touch-dry, but longer in thin castings. Allow at least 48hrs before attempting to demould.

Kit – Each kit contains a bottle of resin and a bottle of hardener which are mixed together at 100:50 parts by weight or 100:60 by volume.

Before you get started
You will need various ancillary items to make a success out of your epoxy project. It is recommended you have the following at hand before you open the epoxy containers:

• Work Space - A dust free, ventilated room where you can mix, splash and spill sticky epoxy without care. For large pours that can get hot it can help to have air-conditioning or fans blowing air over the table to keep the resin temperature down.
• Digital scale – nothing fancy, but able to measure 1-gram increments. Protect it with plastic.
• Nitrile or latex gloves - Epoxy is very sticky and the hardener component is corrosive to skin. Black nitrile gloves are perfect for protecting your hands while having fun!
• Graduated Mixing Cups - Accurate measurement is extremely important to achieve the optimum cured properties. Even if you are using a scale, you’ll need plastic or coated paper mixing cups.
• Clean Mix Sticks – Bamboo mixing sticks or wooden tongue depressors. Dirty sticks can cause contamination of the epoxy.
• Acetone for spill clean-up and cleaning surfaces before re-casting.
• Propane Torch, Heat Gun or Hair Drier - Used by sweeping the heat or flame across the surface of the uncured
