Ciech (Epidian) / art / craft / 0.2 cm
Product card with pour depth, curing time, mix ratio and practical workshop guidance from the NeuroResin database.
Epidian 652 + IDA by Ciech (Epidian) is a coating epoxy resin for art / craft work, with a maximum working layer of 0.2 cm. The database records a 100:50 mix ratio, working time around 40 min, transparency described as milky, UV resistance: low and viscosity: medium (900-1300 mPas). Full cure is listed as 7 days (168 h), so mechanical work should be planned with a safety margin rather than only around demolding time.
For Epidian 652 + IDA, the key is calm setup and process control. Work at a stable temperature around 15-25C; in colder conditions this resin may cure more slowly, turn cloudy or remain soft on the surface. Keep the 100:50 ratio and mix slowly but thoroughly; with this resin class, poor mixing causes problems more often than the product itself. For wood and porous substrates, apply a seal coat before the main pour. The 0.2 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.
Epidian 652 + IDA is best treated as a product for projects where the layer limit, patient degassing and full cure time of 7 days (168 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 0.2 cm. For larger masses, warmer workshops or closed molds, keep a safety margin.
The listed working time is about 40 min. It depends on temperature, mixed mass and pour geometry.
Full cure is listed as 7 days (168 h). Demolding may be possible earlier, around 1 day (24 h), but machining is best planned after full cure.
