You also need to mix it very accurately and let it cure in a very dry moisture free place.<hr /><p>Message 3662.24 was deleted</p> <hr /><a name="a3662_25"></a><p><b>From: Puck (PUCKERBRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3662.25">#25</a>]<br /> 29 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Terry-Morris</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3662.19">#19</a>] 29 Apr 2006</p> <p>Terry,</p> <p>Thanks for the info. I am trying the 7156 epoxy for the flexible. Does there happen to be a different one that is better?</p> <p>I'll try curving the rigid while it's still warm and see how it does.</p> <p>I looked at your new Ultra Dome and while looking I saw one called the Storm (?), 8"x8" in size. If I ever get this to take off I'm thinking on getting that one to start with since the size is just right for what I'm doing at this time. Would be an easy one to take with me to swapmeets and craft fairs.</p> <p>Puck</p> <hr /><a name="a3662_26"></a><p><b>From: Puck (PUCKERBRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3662.26">#26</a>]<br /> 29 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Rodney Gold (RODNEY_GOLD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3662.23">#23</a>] 29 Apr 2006</p> <p>Rodney,</p> <p>For outdoor use?

I use it on multiple substrates and inkjet prints on various substrates without any problems , keys well to just about anything and one has no problems with ink bleed. It stays nice and glossy and clear over time. Cures quick too without the need for any specialised drying enclosures. Our domed decals are ready to go about an hour after doming and we dry em on shelves with light bulbs above and clear plastic heeting in from of the shelves (dust)<br /> However it is way less forgiving to use than epoxies when it comes to applications but is real cheap ($15 per kg or less mixed - 1000 sq inches of coverage). Very good for volume automated dispensing. We had a fairly steep learning curve to implement the system , problems arose mainly from incorrect mix ratios and moisture present in the air.<br /> Doming is very profitable. I charge $100 a sq meter for print , die cut and cold cast lammed decals , but charge $750-800 per sq meter for domed stuff (often a lot more for smaller decals)<br /> I dome large areas as well , up to about 8" x 8" quite succesfully.</p><hr /><a name="a3662_28"></a><p><b>From: RALLYGUY (RALLYGUY1)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3662.28">#28</a>]<br /> 29 Apr 2006<br /><b>To: Puck (PUCKERBRUSH)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3662.10">#10</a>] 30 Apr 2006</p> Anodised surfaces are very difficult to get products to stick to... <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3662.1">1-2</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3662.3">3-22</a>  23-28</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
