{"product_id":"art-pro-epoxy","title":"Art Pro Epoxy","description":"\u003cp\u003eArt Pro is an easy to use, low viscosity system resin art epoxy that provides an extended working time that allows users to create beautiful, high gloss pieces of art resin. For use with pigment powders, alcohol ink and acrylic paints to create a wide range of stunning resin art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures and Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:1 mix ratio by volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 min working time at 75˚F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved UV stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat flow for color blending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWORKING CONDITIONS:\u003cbr\u003eFor best results all materials and workspace should be maintained at 70F-80F. Epoxy is a temperature sensitive material.\u003cbr\u003eWhen cool it’s thicker and sets slower. When warm it’s thinner and sets faster. When the material or working conditions are\u003cbr\u003ebelow 70F, Art Pro may become too viscous to properly release air and self-level. Working in conditions with material above\u003cbr\u003e80F, Art Pro may set too quickly and become too hot and exotherm, which could cause it to yellow, distort or crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSURFACE PREP:\u003cbr\u003eAll surfaces must be clean, dry and free of contamination. Contaminants include, but are not limited to dust, oil, moisture, sap,\u003cbr\u003elint, and sanding debris. Allow paint and other elements to fully dry before overcoating with epoxy, preform small scale cure\u003cbr\u003etest if unsure about compatibility. Do not use paper towels, dirty rags, contaminated sandpaper, or touch the surface with oily\u003cbr\u003efingers. Sand as needed and clean off sanding debris. Wipe surface down with a clean cotton t-shirt rag soaked in an oil free\u003cbr\u003esolvent like denatured alcohol prior to applying epoxy seal coat. Always use clean dry tools for mixing and applying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMIXING:\u003cbr\u003eCombine 1-part Art Pro Resin to 1-part Art Pro Hardener (1A:1B) by volume, or 100-parts resin to 84-parts hardener (100A:84B)\u003cbr\u003eby weight. Using the recommended mix ratio is VERY important when using epoxy. DO NOT deviate to attempt to speed up\u003cbr\u003eor slow down the gel time. Mix 1-2 minutes while scraping sides and bottom of container occasionally until no streaks or\u003cbr\u003estriations. Add colored pigment powder or dye to mixture if desired. Transfer to second clean\/dust free container, and mix 1-\u003cbr\u003e2 minutes again until fully blended. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to allow air bubbles a chance to start rising to surface, and then use\u003cbr\u003eimmediately. Do not scrape from the bottom or sides when pouring as this can introduce unmixed material to your project.\u003cbr\u003eTake extra care not to whip in excess air. The whole mixing process shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes. If the mixed\u003cbr\u003ematerial starts to get warm, that’s your last warning the curing reaction is starting to take place and you need to get the epoxy\u003cbr\u003epoured onto your surface ASAP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTORAGE AND CRYSTALLIZATION:\u003cbr\u003eStore between 60-90F in a dry place. After use, tightly reseal all containers and store products on a raised surface during cold\u003cbr\u003eweather and avoid storing near outside walls or doors. If available, Purge with dry nitrogen to preserve color and minimize\u003cbr\u003emoisture contamination. Do not allow to freeze during winter storage. Do not use material with any signs of crystallization\u003cbr\u003esuch as solid chunks, grainy texture or white color. Crystallization can be reversed by heating the material to 125-140F, and\u003cbr\u003estirring occasionally, until all crystals dissolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAFETY HANDLING:\u003cbr\u003eWear protective gloves, clothing, and eye\/face protection. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact to\u003cbr\u003ethe skin and eyes. Avoid breathing dust, fumes, gas mist, vapors and spray. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Take off\u003cbr\u003econtaminated clothing and wash before reuse. These products may cause skin and respiratory allergic reactions.
