Instructions for Salt Water Cure™
Salt Water Cure™ with Epsom salt is the best way to finish
concept models quickly and easily. No hazardous or restricted
chemicals are involved: simply dissolve the Epsom salt into
tap water and spray a fine mist over the surface of your parts
to give them a smooth, hard surface and a bright white
appearance.
The Salt Water Cure™ with Epsom salt method applies to all
monochrome parts printed using VisiJet® PXL
Salt Water Cure™ with Epsom salt can be used on color parts
but it may cause color muting and streaking.
Spraying vs. Dipping
IN MOST CASES, SPRAYING IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: it is quicker and easier than dipping.
Dipped parts require a large amount of salted water to be prepared and longer drying after
dipping. Dipping does not provide added strength as compared to spraying.
In cases where complete penetration of thick sections is desired, the dipping method should be
used.
Handling and Usage Information
The salt used in this procedure must be magnesium sulfate heptahydrate. In most countries, this is sold as Epsom Salt. Do NOT use any other type
of salt.
For storage & handling precautions of the dry salt, refer to the Epsom Salt package or consult your salt supplier.
While mixing the salt solution and finishing parts, we recommend wearing gloves and safety goggles.
