All you need are printed and kiss-cut decals (stickers). Doming resin to produce high quality 3D labels and badges. A great way to add value to a product Inexpensive to set up. Easy to use. 12 13 14 15 Dome your decals by gently squeezing resin onto the surface. Be careful not to apply too much or too little (this will come with practice). The resin will automatically move toward the silicon coated backing paper. Don’t worry if it doesn’t move all the way to the edge of the decal - you’ll have time to correct this later. If any bubbles appear on the surface of the domed decal - use a gentle heat source (such a hair dryer or flame) to pop the surface bubbles. Do not apply flame directly to the resin. Repair decals that have uncovered areas by dragging the resin gently outwards with a scalpel or utility knife. Next, place a sheet of glass on spacers over domed decals to prevent dust, etc, from affecting your decals and to allow you to dome the next set of decals. Repeat as many layers as required. Heat source Dispensing gun A good supply of paper towels Glass spacers Non-sterillised gloves Resin cartridge twin pack Safety goggles Static mixer Scalpel 3 or more glass sheets - laminated glass, edge ground. Polyurethane resins reacts violently with moisture - this is a slow process and normally takes 4-5 hours to occur. It can take many forms, a worse case scenario is illustrated here. 90% of the time, small bubbles will appear the next morning, or the surface of the decal will remain “sticky” if not properly set. The first is caused by moisture on the surface of the decal before doming, and the latter by moisture on the surface of the dome after doming. To avoid this, wipe the decal with a clean dry cloth before doming and do not breathe on or touch the decal with your fingers. Ideally you should dome in a clean, dry and air-conditioned room. Saving money: Placing the gun, resin cartridge and mixer assembly in a refrigerator, will stop the curing process, allowing you to take that phone call or call of nature. Make sure you wipe the assembly down with a dry cloth when removing from refrigerator. Saving time: Placing the glass sheet with the domed decals in a pre- heated oven (40° degrees C) will reduce the cure time from 4hours to 20 minutes.
