6. Let the part sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow excess Z-Snap epoxy to drain
or wick into the fixture. Z-Max parts should sit at ambient for 1 hour prior to the oven
cure.
7. If using Z-Snap epoxy place the part with fixture into an oven for 30 minutes at 120°F
(49°C). This step reduces the occurrence of unsightly bubbling or pooling of the resin. If
using Z-Max, parts should be oven cured for an additional 2 hours at 160°F (71°C).
8. Parts infiltrated with Z-Snap should then be cured for an additional 2 hours in the oven at
165°F (74°C).
9. Let the part sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to cool before handling.
9.2.4 INFILTRATION ADDENDUM
Parts with large unsupported overhangs that are difficult to manually handle without breaking
should be left on the fixture. Remove as much powder as possible from the top and side
surfaces while the part is on the fixture. Lightly infiltrate the exposed top surfaces of the part
with Z-Snap or Z-Max epoxy. DO NOT apply too much infiltrant to prevent the infiltrant from
wicking through to the bottom side of the part. Cure the part for one hour at 165°F (74°C).
