Hi. I just wanted to make sure that I'm fully understanding the Open Time, Demold Time and Full Cure Schedule as stated on the Technical Data Sheet of the Clear Slow casting resin.
Am I correct in assuming the following:
An Open Time of 12 minutes at 75 Degrees means that this is the allotted amount of time before the mixture hardens/becomes unworkable in liquid form.
A Demold Time of 2-4 Hours at 75 Degrees means that the resin in fully hardened. At this time, am I able to begin my cutting/shaping/forming of the mold into the design that I desire or do I have to wait the 5-7 days at room temperature as the Full Cure Schedule indicates?
Finally, when during the process (I would assume before the 12 minute Open Time is up) and for how long would you suggest that I put my resin under pressure to get rid of any bubbles that may have formed? Also, is there a certain PSI range that works best to eliminate the bubbles?
I thank you in advance for your guidance.
