Had a pieces of picture frame glass left over from my VAT build, 8X11cm. Mixed up enough Solaris for a 3mm coating and left it to cure over night then heated it to 100 deg for 45min to fully cure it. It is perfectly bubble free did not seem to change the color or clarity of the glass at all.
Tested with a Optoma HD65 1600 lumen projector with color wheel removed, it has 2800 hours on the bulb life is supposed to be 2000 so well past being bright at all. lol I did a mock print with CW for a 10 sec layer time and 2 layers, it worked perfect except the resin was moving so the 2 layers are separating. This was with red Fun To Do resin, the print slid off the plate which I'm sure will change once a real print is set up.
But it does indeed let the light through we need to cure and it seems to be much cheaper than Sylgard and approx on par with Qsil at $75 for a Lt kit or 2.1 pounds, for me being in Canada it's actually 30% cheaper if you factor in the shipping costs. The kit also comes with a primer so it forms a better bond to the glass but not sure that would be useful to this application or not.Statistics: Posted by Finhead — Thu Mar 13, 2014 3:15 pm
