MAKEART Resin is a 100% solids formulation, meaning that it does not contain volatile organic compounds so there are no hazardous vapours.

Projects involving epoxy resin should not be hazardous to your health, however, mishandling of epoxy resin can lead to health hazards.

Please refer to the MAKEART Safety Data Sheets for accurate information to allow safe handling.

Gloves and safety glasses should be used, work in a well ventilated area. Place left over mixed material in a ventilated area and be aware that bulk material can get hot.

Ideally, you should avoid getting epoxy resin on your skin by wearing disposable gloves.

Do NOT use solvent to clear hands. Use soap and warm water.

A well ventilated, dust free environment, ideally at a constant temperature and humidity.

MAKEART resins will keep for 2 years and MAKEART hardeners will keep for 2 years if kept un-opened in original containers at room temperature ( 15 C to 32C) and out of direct sunlight.

Containers should be tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

UV stabilisation protects the backbone of the epoxy resin from bond cleavage that occurs when UV light penetrates the coating by absorbing the UV light and converting it to heat.

MAKEART formulations incorporate UV stabilizers to minimise the harmful effects of UV light on epoxy resins, these stabilisers provide long term UV protection.

You can increase the ambient temperature but please be aware of too much, or uneven artificial heating, can create surface imperfections.

It is NOT recommended to thin the epoxy as it has been formulated to have the optimum viscosity for the application.

Yes - tints and pigments can be added to the systems to produce a variety of colours.

Please refer to the Technical Data Sheets, as each system has different handling and cure characteristics.

Use a flat mixing stick to stir the two ingredients together for a least 4 minutes – longer in cooler temperatures. Take care to stir the material slowly, so air entrapment is kept to a minimum.

1 mixed litre of Resin and Hardener delivers approximately 0.60 m2 depending on surface porosity.

Yes, you can do multiple coats – please refer to Data Sheets for more details.

MAKEART Resin Systems will naturally self-level, however a disposable foam brush or flat surface plastic spreader can be used to assist in spreading the resin.

Make sure the surface is level, dry and dust free.

The block provides an elevated surface to allow resin to evenly run off and prevent adhesion to work area.

Yes - tints and pigments can be added to the systems to produce a variety of colours.

Yes.

Air bubble release is greatly enhanced by the use of a gas torch. Hold the torch 15 cm – 20 cm away from the surface and pass the torch over the surface in a single direction, in a brushing like motion. Do not touch the flame to the surface. Allow 5 minutes for the surface to cool before making a second pass.

This light heating will lower the viscosity and break the surface tension in the bubbles popping them.

If the flame is held in one spot it will distort the surface or may cause damage to the substrate. Take care when using alcohol based inks or pigments.

MAKEART can’t be used on pourous surfaces or untreated paper / pictures.
