Hi guys, 

If you push the hose in far enough there shouldnt be too much splatter on the inside of the lid.  Remember the hose passed right through the plastic fitting so that shouldnt get covered either.  I use vaseline around the seals anyway so no resin will stick to that.

Uncured resin can be cleaned off using acetone.

Infusion is generally quite clean if done carefully. everything is contained in the sealed system.

You shouldnt have too much resin build up on the mould flanges if its been cured properly.  the silicone feed and vacuum connectors you just pick the resin off by bending them slightly.

The only messy bit really is debagging when shards of resin go everywhere, but its cured resin so relatively easy to clear up.

Thank you very much Warren for the Infos!

Yeah I would like to know too, because I sometimes spray the resin with pistol, and its hard to clear it. The same is with brush, I cannot clean it with acethone, when brush is wet with acethone its ok but after it dryies the brush become useless... How you hanlde with this silly problem ?

once its cured, epoxy is resistant to most solvants! the key is clean it before it cures.

 




Yes I know that.. but Im talking about un-cured resin

I have always used ordinary Denatured Alcohol to clean off uncured epoxy resin, an also hardener and unmixed resin..

I have never had any problems with brushes or other tools..

Acetone seems to evaporate way too quickly, and makes it a bit difficult to clean with.

Old linen cloth (clean,washed on high temp, use unperfumed detergent without additives) + Alcohol is the best in my experience.

Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)

Hi Guys,

Acetone is our favoured solvent, agreed it evaporates quickly but there are ways to deal with this.

All of our brushes an rollers can be left in acetone between use so, pour a few inches into a sealed container and simply swill the tools in the solution and leave them there until you next need them, then just shake them down and wipe them dry with some tissue. You will need your container to be sealed otherwise you will find your acetone disappearing very quickly! these cereal storage jars (available from most supermarkets) are fantasic for this job.
