Hi there,
Anyone can share the curing time neeed for this resin?
Do it need curing before making molds from rubber? Castaldo rubber.
Waiting some answers,
Thnak you,

Re: Introducing the SolusProto Resin!
I cure for a couple of hours in my UV box, bought from Micron. Probably overkill. I then spray the parts with a wax barrier (MacWax for me).
I don't know if Castaldo is platinum-based, or tin-based (addition-cure, or condensation-cure). The latter will be less prone to cure-inhibition.

Re: Introducing the SolusProto Resin!
cure it 5 min. in cure box , then boil them in water ,
start from room temp to boil , leave boiling for 10 min. and then leave in water till water is warm enough to put your hands in , no spray , just spur up and mold

Re: Introducing the SolusProto Resin!
Just started using solusproto and love it, but I'm getting a lot of shrinkage. I thought I might be over curing it, and adjusted cure to company suggestion. Any suggestions? The rings I'm making are all off by at minimum a half size. How much should I be adjusting my models when printing?
Thanks
Thanks
Re: Introducing the SolusProto Resin!
If your shrinkage is uniform across one or more axes, you can scale the object before printing to compensate for the shrinkage. What specific percentage you need to calculate from the ring size you want and the ring size you get.
What I find in real life is that not all axes shrink equally.![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

Re: Introducing the SolusProto Resin!
I do 5 - 7 % in contour
Re: Introducing the SolusProto Resin!
I thought SolusProto has little to no shrinkage. 5-7% is quite a lot. What gives?
Re: Introducing the SolusProto Resin!
make a sz 7 band , grow it , then check the resin model to see the sz , then adjust accordingly
Re: Introducing the SolusProto Resin!
Is SolusProto still available? I see on Monger's site that it is no longer for sale and SolusArt Grey is available - can that run on the original Solus? I haven't checked for a Contour profile yet.

ArtGrey and old Solus works fine.
Grey is faster and smoother than SolusProto. And details are far better than red resin.
