Use instructions


Fast-Cure Cold Mount Kit
While there are undoubtedly some number of variations on this protocol, we believe the one indicated below is a good starting point for anyone trying to determine the optimum potting conditions:

Mixing:
Mix 2 parts of powder to 1 part of liquid by volume for not less than 30 seconds. Pour the mixture completely over the specimen which is already placed in mounting ring, itself resting on a glass or stainless steel plate (e.g. flat surface).

Curing:
Allow to stand at least 20 minutes at room temperature 24 to 27° C (75 to 80° F) until KoldMount hardens, after which final preparation of specimen can be started. Note: Colder temperatures retard the hardening action. If laboratory is 21°C (70°F) it may take 30 minutes to cure; If 18° C (65° F) perhaps as long as 40 minutes could be required.

Metallographically polishing and etching:
Use whatever standard protocols you would have used for other potting resins.
