USE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Pre-mix INSULCAST 129 in the original container prior to use to ensure consistency.
- Weigh out required amount of INSULCAST 129.
- Measure the required amount of INSULCURE 9 or INSULCURE 11B.
- Mix thoroughly, scraping both the sides and bottom of the container.
- Evacuate at 29 in Hg for 5-10 minutes to insure a void-free casting.
- Pour into cavity or mold.
CURE SCHEDULE:
INSULCURE 9: 16-24 hours at 25°C or 1 hour at 65°C.
INSULCURE 11B: 3-4 hours at 65°C with post cure 2 hours at 125°C
