The epoxy resin system WEICON B is particularly suitable for detailed reproductions in model and mould making, for the production of tools, templates, gauges and clamping devices, and for filling blowholes and microporosities on castings and steel parts as well as for general repair works where a steel-filled casting compound is advantageous. The reconstructing of severely damaged steel components with WEICON B causes no thermal distortion of the components and thus no impairment of the metal structure, as for example during weld overlay. It can be used in mechanical engineering, toolmaking, model and mould making as well as many other areas.
For processing, we recommend an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°C) at less than 85% relative humidity. The highest adhesive strength is achieved when the parts to be processed are heated to >35°C (>95°F) before application. For a thin pre-coat, work WEICON B intensively into the surface in crosswise layers using the Contour Spatula Flexy or a paint brush to achieve maximum adhesion. By means of this technique, the epoxy resin penetrates well into all cracks and roughness depths. Afterwards, further applications can be carried out straight away, until the desired layer thickness is reached. Make sure that the epoxy resin is applied evenly and without air bubbles.
