7. Allow skinned surface to set for at least 3-4 hours (but ideally 24 hours) before using.

Notes and considerations

• Casting Skin can be softened and manipulated using a small amount of heat.  If using a heat gun use on lowest setting and be careful to not melt the plastic.
• If applying over a pourous surface like MDF board it is recomended to seal the surface prior to application to insure a good bond.
• Casting Skin works best with the use of a release agent prior to casting
• For casting requirements that are over 60" wide Casting Skin may be jointed using the overlap method.
• Our 12 mil Ultra Thick Casting Skin can be lightly sanded (practice on a small sample piece)
