Tip: Using warm water helps the salt dissolve faster.
4.
Stir the water solution intermittently until the salt completely dissolves (5-10 minutes). If there are any undissolved crystals at the bottom, allow 1-2
hours to dissolve, and then stir again for 1-2 minutes.
Note: Failure to dissolve all the salt could cause crystals to deposit onto your part when you
dip it.
Dip the part
Tip: Wear gloves while dipping models to keep the bath clean and prevent mold growth.
1.
Gently submerse the part in the bath for at least 5-10 seconds or until bubbles subside.
2.
Slowly remove the part and hold it above the bath for 5-10 seconds to allow a majority of the excess water to run off. Rotate the part to help the
water escape from any cavities or crevices.
3.
Move the part to the paper towels and gently dab the bottom of it on the dry paper towels.
Tip: Avoid wiping the excess water on the top surfaces with a paper towel as this will
compromise surface finish.
4.
Place the dipped part on the wax paper and allow it to air dry for 1-2 hours before handling.
Tip: A fan or hair dryer can be used to harden the surface layers more rapidly. This allows for
quicker handling. Note the parts may still be weak, so handle with care.
Dry the Part
Allowed to air dry at room temperature, the part will be fully dried within 24 - 48 hours.
For faster drying, the parts can be placed in an oven set to 70˚C for 3-4 hours. This also helps guarantee maximum whiteness of the parts.
Clean Up
Any overspray is easily cleaned up with a wet cloth or sponge.
The salt solution may be covered and reused for up to one week. Always check the solution before any subsequent uses - if the solution is cloudy
or discolored in any way, discard it and make a fresh batch.
The salt solution may be safely disposed of by pouring down a sink drain and flushing with plenty of water.
