Hi

 Has anyone used the new Xencast P6 resin yet? I'm struggling with it as I type I have a part that has been curing for over an hour at 20 degrees plus as the mold was warm and the part is still green. I have mixed the same amount of fillers and pigment as I used to with the old system but the results with xencast seem terrible in comparison.

 Like to hear anyone's experiences with it.

Thanks

Hi Kinetic,

What type of fillers are you using? and what type of mould did you use? It is very unusual for Fast Cast Polyurethanes to not go off unless something has gone very very wrong.

Was the resin measured out by weight? Also was Part A shaken so redistribute any settled sediment?

We have not heard of any problems with our Fast Cast resin, in fact I made a couple of small casts last night with no issues, so I am keen to try and work out what has gone wrong. So any information you can give would be useful to resolve the problem.

Hi Warren

 Silicone mold, aluminium trihydroxide filler, weight, well shaken and de-gassed. The same process we have been using with your previous resin system but with very different results unfortunately.

Thanks

Hi Kinetic,

Just picking up on this thread, had this issue been resolved. The Xencast P6 is our pride and joy at the moment having been a long time in development so I want to make sure we resolve any issues customers are having. Generally the feedback has been amazing.

What type of silicone are you casting into? Addition Cure or Condensation Cure? - What brand; our or someone else's?

Kind regards, Matt
