AMAZING CLEAR CAST General Instructions (See Bar top Coating Instructions Below) Before Starting Make sure your work area is appropriate for measuring, mixing, and pouring casting resins that can and will stain any porous materials such as carpet and clothing. Also make sure to use and store materials in an area where children cannot reach or access. Open time & Mixing Amazing Clear Cast has work time of 30-40 minutes based on 100 gram sample at 70°F.

When to use Aluminum Tape: Most table tops and even bar tops do not contain a lip or border to contain the resin. Aluminum tape allows you to create a temporary dam to contain the resin until it thickens slightly to achieve a thicker & uniform coating when flowing over the edge. The tape can also be left in place during cure if edge coating is not desired, although the inside of the tape must be coated with Alumilite Rubber to Rubber mold release to prevent bonding to the resin.
PAGE 5
Measuring & Mixing: The Amazing Clear Cast has a mix ratio of 1:1 by volume. Therefore use measuring cups with graduations on the side or make your own fill line at the same level on each measuring container. In separate containers, measure out equal amounts of Part A and B. Combine both sides into a large mixing container that has a flat bottom and flat sides to adequately mix resin. Begin mixing resin slowly, ensuring to scrap the sides and bottom.
PAGE 6
Popping air bubbles: Amazing Clear Cast cures slowly to allow air bubbles to rise to the surface and pop. To help pop them at or near the surface, you can spray a mist of isopropyl alcohol (93%) over the surface during the first hour after application. You can purchase a fine mist spray bottle under Tools & Equipment. Another option is waving a a propane torch over the surface. The flame should never come in contact with the resin, only the heat from the torch.
