- Wait for the demold time
- Sand or finish after full cure
This product’s stated stages Quoted at 140°F
- Curing period2 hours
Worth noticing: The manufacturer states only one timing here (curing period, 2 hours); nothing else is inferred.
Common mistake: Demolding early and leaving a soft, tacky casting that never fully hardens.
Project stage ladder
Demolding, handling, finishing and final use may occur at different times
For 3D printing, heat-resistant parts, and molds, identify which stage the stated period 2 hours milestone actually unlocks. Earlier handling does not prove final cure.

Before you start
- Confirm the package says SLA photopolymer, post-cure settings; related versions can use different timing.
- For 3D printing, heat-resistant parts, and molds, pay particular attention to accurate mixing, mold material, mass and room temperature.
