Notes
2 Casting Flask
- Storage - Always store investment in a dry environment. After use, expel excess air from plastic bag and close lid tightly.
- Mixing - The investment should always be added to the water in the recommended water/powder ratios.
- Working Time - The work time is the time that has elapsed between adding the powder to the water, and when the investment thickens.
- Water Temperature - Water should be 70° F- 75° F and should be measured with a thermometer to insure consistency. Colder water extends the work time, warmer water shortens the work time.
- Investment Temperature - Investment should always be stored at the same temperature. If the temperature of the investment is warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter, the water temperature must be raised or lowered to compensate. Temperature of the investment should be periodically measured with a thermometer. Colder investment extends the work time, warmer investment shortens the work time.
