ColorBond™ Dipping Kit - Quick Start Guide CAUTION: Before using the ColorBond Dipping Kit, adhere to all guidelines for personal protection and safe handling of these materials as described on the label, in the full User Guide, and in the MSDS/SDS.
- Page 3 8/11/22, 2:05 PM Post Processing Guide Dipping Empty bottles of ColorBond into container. Dip your part in gently. After a few seconds, remove the part. Drain excess liquid. Promptly remove any ColorBond that pooled on the surface of the part using paper towels. CAUTION: Parts will become warm and may emit visible vapor.
- Page 4 8/11/22, 2:05 PM Post Processing Guide Greatly enhances part strength Handling and Usage Information Important: Please review the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) and the following directions prior to using ColorBond instant in ltrants. Before applying All part surfaces should be clean prior to applying ColorBond in ltrant. Parts should be completely dry.
- Page 5 8/11/22, 2:05 PM Post Processing Guide How to apply – Dip method Warning: ColorBond cures very quickly. Models can get hot during in ltration. 1. Using a clean, water-tight, sturdy container (e.g. PP/PE plastic, glass, metal), pour enough ColorBond into the container to completely submerge your part.
- Page 6 8/11/22, 2:05 PM Post Processing Guide Cure Place parts that you in ltrated with ColorBond on a sheet of non-stick material (Te on, freezer paper or wax paper). On average, parts attain near full strength with ColorBond within 15-20 minutes. Let parts cool down for 15-30 minutes before handling them as curing can produce heat.

Page 13: Dry The Part
8/11/22, 2:05 PM Post Processing Guide 1. Place your part on a at surface coated with paper towels or wax paper. Tip: Spread extra towels or paper around the area to catch any overspray. This will make cleanup easier. Overspray can be wiped up with a damp sponge or cloth. - Page 14 8/11/22, 2:05 PM Post Processing Guide Note: If you dry your models at room temperature, a pattern may appear on your parts after several days. See photo to the right (contrast has been exaggerated to make it more visible). This may be prevented or removed from a part by drying it for 1-2 hours at 70°C.
