Plasti-Paste™ EPOXY is an epoxy-based version of Smooth-Ons popular urethane Plasti-Paste products. It is a two component, fiber-filled epoxy designed for vertical surface application. Part A is a paste and Part B is a liquid. Mix ratio is 2A: 1B by volume or weight. Pot life is 40 minutes and cure time is 16 hours at room temperature depending on mass. Applying heat can reduce cure time. Mixed material holds a vertical surface without sagging and cures very rigid and strong. Liquid material can be colored with UVO colorants available at form x and cured epoxy can be sanded, machined and painted with acrylic enamel paints. This plastic can used as a support shell or mother mold material to reinforce rubber molds during casting. It can also be used for creating themed environments, creating art or special effects. This epoxy is also a powerful adhesive and can be used as a repair material for a variety of industrial applications.
Plasti-Paste™ EPOXY offers some advantages over urethane Plasti-Paste™ products:
- Material is not affected by moisture.
- Material has a longer working time for applying over large areas.
- Cured material is more rigid with less being required for making support shells/mother molds
- Higher heat resistance up 71°C.
