Replicating Systems
For internal-shape applications where a thin pour will completely fill the cavity without voids. A complete replica casting is quickly formed.
- Manipulation time is 5 minutes and cure time is 15 minutes.
- Start to finish: 20 minutes.
- Kits include graduated mixing cups, wooden spatulas and instructions.
- Use with REPRO-MIX Dispensing Gun System
Roll tow equal-sized balls of catalyst putty and base putty and simply knead them together like dough.
Excellent for external shapes. Simply spread over master pushing down with fingers and wait for cure 8-10 minutes. You have 3 or 4 minutes of manipulation time - Therefore 14 minutes start to finish. You can also cast internal shapes and cavities but some pressure should be applied sush as a weighted object on top.

Epo-Tek epoxies are two-part, optically transparent expoxy systems with very low viscosity (comparable to water) which allows them to penetrate deeply and to be infused in small crevices or cracks. They have demonstrated excellent resistance to yellowing, and when fully cured, provide extremely hard bond strength. They may be cured with or without heat, and are ideal for bonding glass, ceramics, quartz, metals and most plastics. Epo-Tek 301-2, in addition, has been used in conservation with wooden objects where it is impregnated to restore strength and to bind the wood fibers together. In studies in Conservation, Ep-Tek 301 placed among the five formulations found to be most durable under high as well as low light conditions. Users refer to the products ease of use and to the fact that it cures fully within 24 hours, although the cure times are the main differences in the two products. Epo-Tek 301 has a shorter cure time, setting in an hour or two at 65 C and overnight at room temperature.
