How To Use a Glue Shim on a Challenging Model

Step 3: Dispensing/ Apply Super Instant

Super Instant Epoxy is a two component epoxy that is mixed 1:1 by volume. Dispense a small amount of Part A. Then dispense an equal amount of Part B. Mix parts A and B thoroughly. Super Instant Epoxy has a very short working time of 2.5 minutes. It is important to keep this limited working time in mind when using the epoxy. Do not mix more than can be applied in this timeframe.

Using an acid brush, spread a thin layer of Super Instant over the plastic-wrapped clay. Using a tongue depressor, the Super Instant is spread carefully along the edges and into the corners of the void. The goal is to completely fill the gap, leaving an airtight film of Super Instant.
