Getting Started
New to mixing polyurethane, or curious how to mix material in the pouch? Check out our illustrations.
Premix Resin (Side A)
With the pouch still sealed, massage the RESIN (SIDE A) for about 45 seconds.
Premix Polyol Blend (SIDE B)
Massage the contents of the POLYOL BLEND (SIDE B) until the material is no longer separated and is uniform in color. This should take about two minutes. Maybe longer. That's ok.
Premix Polyol Blend (SIDE B)
*Pro Tip: Slosh material back and forth intermittently to help mix materials from side to side.
The POLLINATOR KIT POLYOL BLEND will be visibly separated, which is very normal. It will need to be massaged to re-homogenize. You may notice that as you massage the bag, the material will become more opaque as the contents mix. Keep mixing until there is no longer a visiable difference among the components in the blend.
Measure Material
Measure out material into mixing cup by VOLUME 1A:2B, or by WEIGHT 64A:100B.
See the Quick Mix Guide for amounts.
Add Side B to Side A, Then Mix Well
ADD SIDE B to SIDE A. Stir the combined sides vigorously for about 2 minutes
until swirls and colors are fully homogenized. Using the mixing stick, scrape the
bottom and sides of the cup a few times to ensure all the material is well mixed.
Pour Into Mold
And then walk away for at least 18 hours before demolding.
