Our Surfset® Pro is a high performance, polymer system for surf product builders and designers requiring an extremely tough and high strength resin system exhibiting fast cure and flip times.
The cured laminate presents a tough surface finish with excellent tensile and flexuarl properties, allowing the designer to maximize strengths when using specialized fabrics, such as carbon fibre and kevlar.
The cured properties can be maximized through an elevated post cure cycle, which will see the maximum benefits of the system mechanical properties.
Mixing
First step is to ensure you have everything read, black and glasses set up to laminate. Workout if you’re going to measure by weight or volume as rations will be slightly different:
By weight 100 parts resin to 44 parts of hardener.
By volume 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener.
If the resin and hardeners are dispensed into separate measuring contains and then poured into a common mixing container, be sure to extricate int all from the container surfaces to get the remaining material into the mixing container to assure proper proportions.
Once the products are dispensed into the mixing container, stir thoroughly, ensuring to scrape the sides and bottom of the container. Clean sticks of wood or tongue depressors can be used for stirring.
Laminating
Pour the resin mixture out on the cloth and spread it around so the entire board surface is covered. Then wet your laps by pulling resin off the flats onto the lap.
Once the resin soaks in, use a stiff plastic squeegee to remove any air or excess resin. While removing the excess rein, finish flattening the cloth on your rails and clean your laps.
Remember these key points for successful use of Surfset® epoxy
Keep things clean, keep products away from your skin, eyes and provide adequate ventilation. Ensure you mix the products thoroughly at the correct ratio.
Consult the Surfset® SDS before use.
Prior to doing any mixing ensure that all the tools you need are ready for use, including cleaners and solvents.
Planning what you will be doing and thinking of the tools that will be needed can save you a lot of headaches, particularly when attempting unfamiliar procedures.
