totalCAST Clear Art Casting Resin

A revolutionary hybrid polymer that produces an optically clear, high gloss finish. 

The totalCAST range contains a quick and easy mix pack for single use application. The one use 200g TwinPack sachets are designed for the resin art novice who wants a quick & easy solution for their first resin adventure, or for the experienced user who has a small requirement.

This epoxy resin system is used to coat and seal artwork on canvas, wood, MDF, glass, perspex, concrete, metals etc. The product can be applied by pouring, brush or roller. totalCAST has excellent clarity and optical transparency making the resin ideally suited for the protection and decoration of paintings, sculptures & collages, photos & prints, wood & timber artefacts (clocks and puzzles etc), pendants, bangles & other jewellery items, flower setting and paperweights. This formulation represents cutting edge polymeric technology and was developed to offer unrivalled user friendliness and a crystal clear result every time.

Key advantages:

• 1:1 mixing ratio by volume or weight
  
• Non toxic and VOC free
  
• Odour free and solvent free
  
• Built in air release agents and moisture scavengers
• BPA (Bisphenol) free
• UV Stable, no need for HALS or UV blockers

totalCAST is available as:

200g / 7 oz kit (100g Hardener/100g Resin) Twin Pack One Use Pouch
500g / 16.9 oz kit (250g Hardener/250g Resin) 
​​2kg kit / 70 oz kit (1kg Hardener/1kg Resin)
4kg kit / 1.1 gal kit (2kg Hardener/2kg Resin)
10kg kit / 2.65 gal kit (5kg Hardener/5kg Resin)

The mixing ratio must be accurately followed to achieve perfect results. It is not possible to change the ratio which would result in the resin not drying properly and lower mechanical properties. The mixed components should be thoroughly stirred for 3-4 minutes to ensure an even consistency. Epoxy systems tend to heat up in a pot than as a thin film, only mix the amount needed for use within the pot life of the product.

The system can be applied by hand pouring or by brush/roller. Mix to the ratio of 1:1 by volume. 1kg of mixed resin will cover 1.5m² at 0.5mm thick and will last 12 months in manufacturers packaging.​​​​​​​ For the 200g Twin Pack, simply open the pre-filled pouch, remove the separator clip, knead the two parts together for 2 minutes, cut a corner and pour. The Twin Pack will cover 0.4m² @ 0.5mm thick. Mixed product can not be saved for future use.

Please note this resin has a heat distortion temperature of 45-50°C which makes it unsuitable for the placement of very hot objects on its surface such as cups, mugs, plates etc. We recommend UltraCast XT for higher temperature resistance.

Health & Safety

totalCAST is formulated with the most modern and safest epoxy chemicals available, all epoxy resins are chemicals and should be managed and handled with proactive safety hygiene and responsible care.

• Always wear nitrile gloves (or use a specialist resin barrier cream)
• Wear a respirator when sanding partially-cured resin
• It is advisable to work in a well ventilated room
• We advise the use of safety goggles
• Avoid skin contact (if resin gets on skin wash with plenty of soap & water)
• DO NOT eat, drink or smoke while working
• In case of eye contamination wash with plenty of water for 15 minutes and consult medical advice immediately

Adding inks/paints/mica powder/glitter to epoxy resin will change its properties and may reduce its non-toxicity. If you use alcohol inks DO NOT use a flame to remove bubbles, as alcohol is flammable.
