Processing guidelines
Stir up well before use.
Clean the moulds’ surface well before applying the resin.
New moulds:
Apply HGR5 in at least 2-3 layers.
Consider a waiting time of a few minutes* between each working step.
If higher gloss is required, it is possible to polish the surface after a few minutes waiting time.
If the last coat is finished, it´s recommended to wait approx. 30 min* before laminating.
Especially after each of the first demoulding processes, it is recommended to apply a new layer of the release agent.
Used moulds:
Clean the moulds’ surface and remove every other release agent carefully.
After that, apply HGR5 as per description.
* All information shall apply at 20°C! Higher temperatures will shorten the drying time. At mould temperatures of >60°C you have to pay attention to the correct usage of the surface!
Remains of the release agent HGR5 can be removed with water (with addition of detergents).
