Ciech (Epidian) / art / craft / 0.5 cm
Product card with pour depth, curing time, mix ratio and practical workshop guidance from the NeuroResin database.
DECO (Decorative / Castings) by Ciech (Epidian) is a coating epoxy resin for art / craft work, with a maximum working layer of 0.5 cm. The database records a 100:40 mix ratio, working time around 10 min, transparency described as crystal clear, UV resistance: high (UV stabilizers) and viscosity: low (450-680 mPas). Full cure is listed as 3 days (72 h), so mechanical work should be planned with a safety margin rather than only around demolding time.
For DECO (Decorative / Castings), the key is calm setup and process control. Work at a stable temperature around 18-25C; in colder conditions this resin may cure more slowly, turn cloudy or remain soft on the surface. Keep the 100:40 ratio and mix slowly but thoroughly; with this resin class, poor mixing causes problems more often than the product itself. A thin seal coat is recommended before the main application. The 0.5 cm layer limit should not be treated as extra safety margin when the mass is high, the mold is closed or the workshop is warm. Use the two-cup method: after the first mix, transfer into a second cup and mix again to reduce streaks and soft spots from the cup walls.
DECO (Decorative / Castings) is best treated as a product for projects where the layer limit, patient degassing and full cure time of 3 days (72 h) matter. Choose a finish according to exposure, abrasion and expected sheen. Before the final pour, make a small sample using the target wood, pigment and workshop temperature.
The NeuroResin database lists the maximum working layer as 0.5 cm. For larger masses, warmer workshops or closed molds, keep a safety margin.
The listed working time is about 10 min. It depends on temperature, mixed mass and pour geometry.
Full cure is listed as 3 days (72 h). Demolding may be possible earlier, around 12 h, but machining is best planned after full cure.
