HOW TO USE:
- Shake the bottle for at least 60 seconds before use.
- Allow the resin to rest for 10 minutes after shaking to let air bubbles escape before pouring into resin vat.
Note: This resin can be poured back into the bottle after use, however, it is important to check for residual pieces of polymer before doing so. Always take protective measures when handling Liqcreate resins. For more details on safety please check the attached Safety Data Sheet.
