Tooling gelcoat cures to a much harder surface than regular gelcoat.
Epoxy tooling gel coat.
The life of a polyester mold may be extended considerably by the use of tooling gel.
Ideal for all mould making applications.
With excellent heat and impact resistance easy layup and high gloss finish.
Therefore it can be polished to a higher luster.
A range of epoxy tooling gelcoats from verometal.
Our 186 black tooling gel coat is often used on molds that will be used to make parts with a white gel coat.
Ensure that both gelcoat and hardener containers are within this temperature range before use.
They are cured to form crosslinked polymers and are subsequently backed with thermoset polymer matrix composites which are often mixtures of polyester resin and fiberglass or epoxy resin which is most commonly used with carbon fibre for higher specific strength.
These tooling gelcoats offer heat resistantane up to 195 degrees and very low shrinkage.
Red tooling gelcoat is a polyester based tooling gelcoat.
Our orange tooling gel coat offers excellent contrast allowing you to gauge the gel coat coverage and differentiate between your finished part and the mold.
Tooling gel coat is an abrasion resistant gel coat for making molds where gloss retention superior hardness exceptional craze resistance and minimum distortion are paramount.
I know it could not be thinned too much but i have a spray gun with tips ranging from 1 to 4 7 mm.
The table below gives an indication of pot life and cure properties.
Tooling gel coat is an abrasion resistant gel coat used for fabricating molds when gloss retention superior hardness exceptional craze resistance and minimum distortion are paramount.
I believe it is also more brittle but that is ok for a mold because you will not flex the mold you will the part.
Gelcoat usually referes to polyester group of resins.
Tooling gel coat is a scratch resistant gel coat for making molds where gloss hardness and craze resistance and minimum distortion are key.
Tooling gel coat comes with out wax.
Regular gecoat is meant for parts it is less brittle.
For best results an ambient temperature of at least 20 c 68 f is recommended.
Comes pre pigmented red.
A high performance resin with excellent physical and mechanical properties.
2 by volume or weight.
Gelcoat the most common gelcoats are thermosetting polymers based on epoxy or unsaturated polyester resin chemistry.
I had a try with my 4 7mm nozzle and gelcoat seems to be just a little too thick to spray.
