Beirdo Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Hey, so I'm making rings out of wood and various other materials and I'm using a jewelry grade epoxy to seal them and then trying to use Diamond Finish aerosol for a top coat. I have been doing about 3 coats, very thin, and letting each cure for an hour + between coats until it's dry to the touch. I've then let them sit for 48+ hours but the finish is still kind of soft and gummy. The first one I made has been done for 2 weeks and it's still soft. Any ideas?

KBS Coatings Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 What is the temperature? Have you added air flow to assist in the curing? We are looking forward to hearing from you and assisting you further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirdo Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 The temp has been around 15°C-23°C And plenty of airflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBS Coatings Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Can you heat cycle getting up to 26.5C and the back to 12-15C? That will help force the solvents out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirdo Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Sure. For how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beirdo Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Will do! Thank you for the timely replies and awesome customer service! I've been wanting to get this product to work for a long time and have just recently had the time to test it. So I hope I can make it work! Would letting it cure in a higher temp help the process?

KBS Coatings Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Yes, for the Aerosol version of DiamondFinish Clear, higher temps do help to force the solvents out which causes DiamondFinish Clear Aerosol to fully cure. Please reach out if you have any additional questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
