Mix the Components

Plastiform products cure only when base and catalyst are mixed in a 1:1 ratio. An uneven mix causes soft spots, streaks, or incomplete polymerization.

Cartridge Products

1. Insert the cartridge into the dispensing gun of your choice.
2. Remove the cartridge cap by turning it a quarter turn to the left.
3. Attach the nozzle included with the cartridges. Align the notch and turn a quarter turn to the right to lock it.
4. Clip the tip at the end of the nozzle if you need one. (Tips only work with Fluid products)
5. Squeeze the gun trigger until both components enter the nozzle and mix.
6. Extrude a small drop onto a clean surface. The output must be a single uniform color. If you see streaks of white and color, continue extruding until the mix is homogeneous.
7. Make your impression

Manual Putty Products

1. Use the dedicated spoon for each component. Do not swap spoons between base and catalyst.
2. Take visually equal volumes of each component (ratio 1:1).
3. Mix with your fingertips for 20 to 30 seconds until the color is completely uniform.
4. Do not overmix. Excessive kneading heats the material and shortens working time.

XL Products in Bottles

1. Measure equal volumes of base and catalyst.
2. Mix thoroughly with a mechanical stirrer for large volumes, or by hand for small batches.
3. Scrape the sides and bottom of the container to eliminate unmixed streaks.

The Drop Test

Before applying the product to the part, extrude a small drop and check it. Use this same drop later to verify polymerization by pressing it with a fingernail. If it does not mark, the impression is ready to extract.
