R-Cast 2.0 is designed for mass casting like river tables, charcuterie boards and any other artistic project. RC2 can be used for pours greater than 1/2″ (1.3cm) and up to 2.5″ (5cm) taking volume into account.
The use of fans is strongly recommended for thick castings.
Restrictions
Preparation
Mold
1- Use a plywood or melamine sheet and cover it with red or blue Tuck tape.
2- Assemble side and seal corners with silicone to make it 100% leakproof. Clean the excess and let it dry before pouring.
Wood preparation
3- Remove bark and clean any residues to ensure a perfect bond between wood and epoxy. Wood moisture MUST BE under 12% (Kiln dry).
4- For clear pours, we recommend to seal the edges with a thin coat of R-Epoxy (let it dry 24hrs and lightly sand for a perfect bond).
5- Assemble wood pieces as desired in prepared mold. Use clamps to hold the pieces in the bottom of the mold. Keep in mind that wood floats!
Epoxy preparation
6- Mix the required amount of epoxy for at least 5 minutes. Mix counter clockwise to minimize bubbles.
7- If necessary, add pigment and mix for another 3 minutes.
8- Pour your mix in your mold.
9- Room temperature must be 21°C ( 70 F). To avoid exothermic reaction, use cooling fan for the first 24h.
10- Unmold project when the epoxy is hard to touch (approximately 4 to 5 days).
11- Flatten the surface with router or CNC.
I was very happy with the speed of the order. My order was delivered to my home within 4 days which in my mind was excellent. The wood came packaged neetly and in excellent condition. I love the ebony because it is very dark and is great for special projects that require an almost black color for definition. I use it for my layering project with my laser machine. Thank you to all at KJP for the speedy order process and once again for making sure that my order was complete and of excellent quality.
