Processing guidelines
1. Clean and degrease the mould surface.
2. Apply HP-CX7 with a soft cloth in an area of approx. 70 x 70 cm in circular motion.
3. Polish directly (within 10 minutes) with a clean towel and buff carefully to a brilliant, hard finish.
New moulds:
Apply HP-CX7 minimum 4-6 coats. Allow to set 1-2h between each working step.
After the last coat, you should wait >6h (better over night) before laminating.
After each of first-three demoulds, it is necessary to apply a new coat.
Seasoned moulds:
If necessary, apply a new coat HP-CX7 and wait for setting at least for 1h.
