As far as I know, epoxy is not
carcinogenic. However, the long-term temasta is allergic. So wear gloves
(rubber surgical gloves, cheap nylon gloves if you can not find them) while
working with epoxy and avoid contact with skin. Keep your eyes very well,
absolutely not contagious. Bleed the epoxy vapor and the abrasive powder (use a
dust mask). Detailed information about health issues is available on the boxes.
Once you've gotten an epoxy, there's no difference from the plastic you know,
and it's harmless.
In an epoxy form, your clothes,
your tools, etc. it finds its way to infection, which is a difficult substance
to study. Clean your instrument with paper towels before the contaminated epoxy
is frozen. The frozen epoxy can not be cleaned with water. Though some
chemicals are sold to dissolve frozen epoxies, but I do not know how effective
they are when I do not use them. It seems to me best to clean it with paper
without freezing me. Once you have frozen, you have no chance, but you can
dismantle it with sanding or grinding.
We mentioned that epoxin is an
exothermic, ie heat-generating reaction when freezing. If you prepare in large
quantities, the epoxy on the cap can get very hot. As the heat is accelerated,
the freezing process accelerates, and as the freezing process accelerates, more
heat becomes available. To prepare, people often use paper or plastic
disposable containers, and when they are mixed in large quantities, sometimes
even the burning of these containers can happen. That's why it's worth working
with small quantities. If you pour into a broad-bottomed container after mixing
the epoxies, the freezing process will be slower and less heat-releasing, since
the heat transfer becomes easier.
If you try to apply a new coat on
the previously applied epoxy, if the lower epoxy is not fully frozen, it will
chemically bond to the new coat and form the strongest bond. If the underlying
epoxy is completely frozen then it is not the case that the new cata- tos are
chemically bonded. In this case, we have to mechanically hold the layers
between layers, so you should thoroughly sand the bottom frozen layer before
applying new epoxies.
Especially in cool and humid
environments, a thin film of waxy consistency can form on the frozen epoxin.
This substance is a result of chemical reaction and completely harmless.
However, we need to get rid of it as it can get into trouble with your
sandpaper. Fortunately, this is a water-soluble substance. Therefore, it is
useful to get rid of this material by wiping wet paper towels before frozen
epoxy sanding.
It never sticks or sticks to
epoxy plastic. So you can cover your desk with nylon whilst working with the
epoxy. If you do not do this, your desk may stick to your desk forever. If you
do not know if it sticks to a particular substance, do a test with tiny pieces.
The only bad property of Epoxy is
its sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) rays. It is said that the UV beam breaks
down the molecular bonds in the epoxy and weakens the epoxy over time. I do not
know how long this is. As a matter of fact, accidentally left and right
droplets of epoxy droplets have been stuck in the sun for over a year.
Nevertheless, it is useful to implement the recommendation. If your epidemic
job is going to be in the sun, you need to paint. Do not use light-colored
paint in hot climates like Turkey, particularly recommend because there is more
likely to affect the temperature of the frozen epoxy. If you want to be
transparent, you need to use a varnish that does not pass UV rays. Standard
yacht varnishes do not have this feature.
Epoxy wood can be used for
bonding metals, styrofoam and even stones. I even stuck a glass. It should not
be forgotten how well it penetrates the material, it will bond so strongly.
Therefore, if the surfaces to be bonded are smooth, you should thoroughly sand.
Some manufacturers sell special kits for metal applications (especially for
aluminum).
