Castings and inclusions

Wet the surfaces of the inclusions with resin before casting to reduce trapped air. Also check the part's service temperature. For food or skin contact, request specific suitability documentation.

Intended for thin layers. Adapt each pour to its geometry, mass and temperature; for thick parts, use a system documented for deep casting.

Check that the inclusion and mould tolerate polyester resin; polystyrene can deteriorate on contact. Assess shrinkage and heat generation at the actual part size.

Choose a thin geometry that allows reaction heat to dissipate. Volume, temperature and mould material affect the result; check the inclusion's behaviour before making the complete part.
