Instructions for using Entropy SuperSap CCR Epoxy

HERE FOLLOWS SOME GOOD ADVICE WHEN USING ENTROPY CCR EPOXY:

You can use Entropy CCR epoxy in many contexts. Actually, it is only you who sets the limit for what this "wonder drug" can be used for. We therefore advise you to experiment, try your hand and find out for yourself what this product can be used for in relation to your creative wishes. Below we have set up some good advice and driving rules that can be good to take with you on the road anyway.

• Find all the equipment you need before you start work, e.g. mixing beaker, stirring sticks, gloves, moulds, wax, weight, color pigments, fillers, brushes, the objects to be used with the epoxy etc.
• There should be a working temperature of at least 15°C when working with entropy CCR epoxy, but preferably 20-23°C. The epoxy itself should maintain the same temperature.
• Cover the surface where you will be working with plastic or paper.
• Always remember to dose Resin and Hardener 100% correctly. Use ml measure or weight.
• When mixing Resin and Hardener, it is important to mix the components carefully, but not quickly and vigorously. Then you risk whisking air into the mixture, and then you get unnecessary air bubbles in the epoxy.
• After you have mixed the Resin and Hardener, it may be a good idea to let the mixture stand for a while so that air bubbles seep up and puncture the surface.
• It is better to mix several small mixtures than one large one. Then you prevent the epoxy from "heating up".
• Remember that you must use slow hardener if you are going to do large casting work or cover an object with epoxy that will build more than 2.5 cm.
• Remember to always calculate a good curing time for your works.
• The slow hardener takes longer to harden than the fast hardener.
• After the cast has hardened for a while, you can feel that the epoxy is still soft and not really hard. This means that the cast needs a longer curing time.
• It is fun to experiment with dyes and fillers together with Entropy CCR epoxy to get exciting and nice effects. Feel free to try small mixtures in advance so that you get to know how different colors and powders work together with the epoxy mixture.
• We recommend that you always carry out some tests and make some tests before starting the big and important work.
• You must not always stir the additives into the epoxy. It can also be effective that these are simply sprinkled or added to the mixture without doing anything else. Try yourself out!
• Make sure that the surfaces to be covered with epoxy are cleaned and free of dust, grease, polish, wax etc.
• It can be beneficial to raise the object (e.g. the wooden board) which you are going to surface treat approx. 5-6 cm so that excess epoxy can drain off.
• It is important that the surface is completely horizontal when the mixture is poured over the object so that the epoxy mixture is distributed evenly over the surface.
• If you are going to make a mold into which you will pour the epoxy, make sure to tape all joints so that the epoxy does not flow out of the mold.
• The surface of the mold must also be set with wax before you pour epoxy into it, so that the mold comes off the edges after the epoxy has hardened. This does not apply to silicone molds.
• If, for example, you are going to cast a stone or an insect in a mold, you can first pour a certain amount of epoxy into the mold, let this harden for a while and then place the object in the epoxy mixture. Then you pour on more epoxy. In this way, the object will lie in the middle of the glassy mould.
• If there are air bubbles in the surface of the epoxy mixture, it may be beneficial to use a hot air gun, hair dryer or blowtorch and heat the epoxy surface. Then the air bubbles will often disappear. This applies both before and after the epoxy has been poured into the mold.
• Porous surfaces, e.g. soft wood and matte photo paper, should be sealed by first applying a thin layer of the epoxy mixture to the material to be treated. When this layer is dry, it will have sealed all the pores and you can then pour the epoxy mixture over the surface.

It is important to mix resin and hardener in the correct ratio. Always tape all cracks and joints in the molds with good tape. Try your hand at different color additions before starting work.

to cast jewelry with entropy ccr epoxy

Making jewelry with epoxy is a lot of fun. With the help of CCR epoxy, color pigments and other fillers, you can make beautiful jewelery with your own personal touch and expression.

You can cast rings, pendants, earrings and much more

For example, you can simply use an ice cube mold to make decorative and pretty jewellery...

Here are examples of how to use insects, shells, stones, seaweed etc. to make jewellery, just the way you want it.

Procedure if you are going to cover one or more objects with entropy ccr epoxy:

1. The workspace and the materials you are going to surface treat must have a temperature of at least 15 °C, preferably approx. 20-23°C.
2. Mix Resin and Hardener in the correct ratio and in such a quantity that you have enough to cover the material you have planned.
3. Stir slowly and thoroughly for at least 2 minutes - it is important to mix carefully to avoid air bubbles. NB! If you are mixing large amounts of epoxy, you need to mix longer.
4. Pour Entropy CCR over the prepared surface and allow the mixture to level. Feel free to help with a foam remover or brush (avoid loose hair that escapes from the brush).
5. Remove air bubbles by gently heating the surface with a heat gun or hair dryer in a fast and steady motion approx. 15 cm above the surface. Heat immediately after the mixture is applied, and once more after approx. 10-15 minutes.
6. If the epoxy mixture has cleaned beyond the edges of the surface, this can be removed with a brush while it is still liquid, or with sandpaper after it has hardened.
7. Allow the epoxy mixture to harden.
8. It takes approx. 7 days (depending on temperature) before it is hardened to an optimal hardness and good quality.
9. It is easy to apply multiple layers to create a richer and deeper effect. If you are going to do that, you can apply the next layer while the first layer is still a little tacky.

Here is an example of coins being covered with epoxy. This can be done, for example, both on the floor and on the table.

Entropy CCR is a crystal-clear and thin-flowing epoxy. It is intended to be used for moulding, filling and baking in and completely covering various objects. Great transparency (water-clear) makes it well suited to cover or bake in colored objects and surfaces.

IMPORTANT

You should never mix thinners or solvents into Entropy epoxy to dilute the mixture. Such additives will make the epoxy less effective and destroy the materials to be protected.
