Mixing

Step 1: To colour Rapido Resin, add selected pigments to the resin before adding the hardener. Water based pigments are not suitable for Rapido, they react with the resin and form foam. Epoxy pastes such as our Eli-Chem Resins resi-TINT MAX pigment pastes or other non-water based pigments are suitable to use.
Step 2: Mix pigmented resin & hardener together in a 1:1 ratio by weight for about two minutes. You will feel the exothermic reaction begin immediately, the mixing cup will get warmer and warmer during mixing.

Application

Step 1: If you want to include a mixing cup in your artwork, then leave the mixture in this cup. If you want to "pour" another vessel, then pour your RAPIDO mixture into it now.
Step 2: The mixed resin will start to thicken a few seconds after mixing, you can also feel this very easily as the mixing cup gets quite warm. Don't worry though, this is normal and your mixture will not boil or burn.
Step 3: As soon as your Rapido mixture has started to thicken you can pour it. Rapido gels very quickly, within seconds. So pour to create you structure quickly before it stops flowing, we suggest one or two trial runs to get a feel for the product.
Step 4: Hold your mixing resin structure in place for about 5 to 10 minutes to make sure everything stays in place. This resin is touch dry after about 15 minutes.
