Mounting Backing Paper
• Mount backing paper immediately after application of the
compound.
• Apply shiny side of backing paper to uncured replica. Position
the backing paper to one side so that it can be folded over to
protect the copy after curing.
• Apply light pressure to the backing paper using a fl at stamp or
small roller to produce a thin fi lm replica and increase resolution.
Use of Backing Paper
Identifi cation of the replica can be written directly on the back of
the backing paper.
The backing paper serves as a handle when pulling replicas out
from re-entrant geometries.
The backing paper allows the replica to be mounted on a glass
slide by means of double adhesive tape.
The replica will have the original profi le when mounted on a fl at
surface, when the backing paper has been pressed entirely fl at.
Use of Spreader
The fi shtail spreaders used as nozzle tips facilitate the application
of the -T types of RepliSet and improve the resolution of the
replica.
Re-entrant Geometries
RepliSet can be pulled out of moderately re-entrant geometries,
e.g. bolt holes or cracks.
• Let RepliSet cure for at least twice the recommended curing
time. Pull steadily and slowly when removing the replica.
• Leave the replica for at least 30 min. before measurement, in
order to recover the precise shape.
Note: Increased curing time (up to one day) will increase the
tensile strength.
