Liquid Art™, Liquid Art Ultra UV™, and Liquid Art Elite™ Instructions


INFORMATION
Be sure to visit our website and read through the Frequently Asked Questions
section before using our products. You can also reach out to us if you have any
questions.


BEFORE MIXING
Liquid Art™ Epoxy Resin should be used in a room where the humidity is under
50%, and the temperature is 65-80° when pouring. When the humidity is over 50%
a dehumidifier should be used in the room where the pouring and curing is taking
place. You can set the Resin in hot water for 10 minutes to have a thinner mixture;
this will also help cause less trapped air in the mixture. Be careful to not get any
water into the epoxy. Temperatures below 65°F will cause the curing process to be
slower.

 

CALCULATE REQUIRED EPOXY

Square Feet = 3oz / square foot
Measure the surface area (length x width) of what you will be coating. Times the
number of your surface area by 3 to get the total ounces you will need per coat of
epoxy resin. You may want to add extra if you plan to use colorants.
Example: 2’ long x 4’ width = 8 x 3oz = 24 ounces of epoxy resin required (12 ounces
of Hardener, 12 ounces of Resin)

 

Square Inches = 1ml / square inch

Measure the surface area (length x width) of what you will be coating. Times the
number of your surface area by 1 to get the total millilitres you will need per coat of
epoxy resin. You may want to add extra if you plan to use colorants.
Example: 8" long x 3" width = 24 x 1ml = 24 millilitres of epoxy resin required (12ml of Resin, 12ml of Hardener)

We recommend mixing at minimum of 1oz (30ml) at a time for best results.


MEASURING (By Volume)
Starting with the resin (Part A), pour 1 part of resin to 1 part of hardener (Part B) into a
graduated cup/bucket. Be sure to measure the EXACT amount of each part or you
may have issues with your mixture. Do NOT add more hardener than resin, this
doesn’t make the final product harder and will create issues. Do NOT guess or try to
estimate your measurements. Inaccurate measurements will result in soft or sticky
spots on surfaces.


MIXING
In a clean graduated container, mix the measured resin and hardener.

Mix slowly for 2 minutes (use a timer), scrape the sides and bottoms with a
paint stick, silicone stir stick, or metal stir stick, and continue

to mix for an additional 2 minutes using a timer. Mixing slowly

will help ensure that you are not introducing too much air into the mixture.


POURING
After the epoxy resin has been mixed thoroughly, immediately pour the mixture
onto your desired surface. Do NOT leave the mixture in your container, as it will -
begin to get very hot and decrease your working time.


SPREADING
The epoxy resin can be spread with a 1/8” trowel, paint brush, foam brush, foam roller, or

silicone brush. Be sure to sufficiently cover all areas of your surface. Use your gloved hand or
a paint brush to brush the epoxy resin on to the sides of your project. The epoxy
resin will self-level and drip down the sides.


COLORING
There are many different pigments that can be used to tint the epoxy resin such as
latex spray paints, mica powders, oil-based paints, etc. Colors can be mixed into the
epoxy resin (after being fully mixed), or sprayed on to the surface of the epoxy resin
while still in liquid form. There are many techniques available online. Keep in mind

that too much colorant can cause issues with curing. Start small and work your way up.


TORCHING
Once you are satisfied with the design of your epoxy resin, you can use a propane
torch to remove the trapped air from the epoxy. Hold the torch 6 inches away from
the surface and sweep quickly across the surface until the bubbles disappear. Wait
approximately 5 minutes and repeat that process. Be sure to not torch past the suggested

working time or you may cause waves in the surface. Do not over torch as you can
burn the epoxy.


CURING
For best results, the room temperature should be between 65-80°F (Liquid Art™)
with the humidity levels under 50%. The coated item will need to cure for several
days in a dust free room. 12-24 Hours after initial pour your epoxy will be dry to
touch. After 3 days in the recommended environment, your epoxy will be fully cured
and ready to use.


CLEANING
Always have a plastic sheet over the work area you are using. Once the epoxy has
cured, you will be able to pull the cured epoxy off the plastic sheet and dispose of it.
If you need to clean up spilled epoxy while it is still in a liquid state, you can use
acetone. Once the epoxy has cured you will need to remove it by sanding or using a
paint stripper.

LIQUID CAST™ PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS

Liquid Cast™ Instructions


INFORMATION
Be sure to visit our website and read through the Frequently Asked Questions
section before using our products. You can also reach out to us if you have any
questions. Liquid Cast™ is a slow curing casting epoxy that has advanced air release
technology to reduce air bubbles in your castings.


BEFORE MIXING
Liquid Cast™ Epoxy Resin should be used in a room where the humidity is under
50%, and the temperature is 65-80° when pouring. When the humidity is over 50%
a dehumidifier should be used in the room where the pouring and curing is taking
place.


CALCULATE REQUIRED EPOXY
RECTANGLE – Length (inches) x Width (inches) x Height (inches) x 0.6 = Ounces
required


Example Rectangle Mold – 4” x 8” x 1”:
4” Length x 8” Width x 1” Height = 32 x 0.6 = 19.2 Ounces required

 


CYLINDER - Radius² (inches) x 3.14 x Height (inches) x 0.6 = Ounces required


Example Cylindrical Mold – 12” Round x 1.5 Height:
6” (radius) x 6” (radius) = 36 x 3.14 = 113.04 x 1.5 (height) = 169.56 x 0.6 = 101.74

Ounces required
Radius = Half of diameter. In our example the diameter of the mold is 12” making
the radius 6”.


MEASURING (By Volume)
Starting with the hardener, pour 1 part of hardener to 1 part of resin into a
graduated cup/bucket. Be sure to measure the EXACT amount of each part or you
could have issues with your mixture. Do NOT add more hardener than resin, this
doesn’t make the final product harder and will create issues. Do NOT guess or try to
estimate your measurements. Inaccurate measurements will result in soft or sticky
spots on surfaces.

Liquid Cast can be poured up to 2" thick at one time in some cases, but in most cases

we recommend doing multiple smaller pours which will prevent yellowing and cracking,

as well as minimize shrinkage. For instance, a 10" x 10" x 3" pour may be done in (3) 1" pours.

It is always better to start small and work your way up.


COLORING
There are many different pigments that can be used to tint the epoxy resin such as

PIGMENT PASTE INSTRUCTIONS

Pigment Paste Instructions

Pigment Pastes are used as a colorant additive for your epoxy resin mixture. You can use a popsicle stick, plastic spoon, or something similar to dip into the pigment paste and then mix into the epoxy resin. A little goes a long way, so be sure not to add too much. Start small, and continue to add until you are satisfied with your overall color.

Pigment Pastes do not contain a catalyst and must only be used with epoxy resin.

KSRESIN does not guarantee results with Pigment Pastes when being used with another companies epoxy resin products. Though you will find most similar products are compatible. You are responsible for testing their application on your own.

Do not ingest.

Keep away from children.

DISPENSING PUMP INSTRUCTIONS

Dispensing Pump Instructions


Dispensing pumps are an excellent way of measuring your epoxy resin. All pumps come in pairs, one for Resin and one for Hardener.

 

These dispensing pumps are manufactured with oil on the springs to prevent rusting while stored in the warehouse. We recommend cleaning dispensing pumps prior to use. Pump a few ounces of isopropyl alcohol through the pump to clean the oil off of the spring. This will help prevent cloudiness as well as fish eyes.

 

It is important to mark each pump if you plan to reuse them, this will ensure that you do not mix up resin and hardener.

 

Pumps may need to be trimmed to fit the bottles. Why? Our dispensing pumps are manufactured for multiple bottle sizes, simply trimming the dip tube with scissors will allow the pump to sit properly in your bottle size.

 

We recommend pumping out all liquid after use, or placing a cup underneath the spout of the dispensing pump for any drips. You can also turn the tip of the dispensing pump to face up which will prevent liquid from leaking.

 

If you are experiencing cloudiness or micro-bubbles you need to warm up your resin and hardener before use. This can easily be done in a hot water bath for 10-15 minutes, be sure that the lids are tightly sealed. You can also use a space heater, but be sure to not overheat the product.

 

Do not force the pump up, allow it to pull the epoxy resin up itself with the spring.
