Description

MR. JO Artcast – C10 is a clear, two-part epoxy system with low viscosity. It is solvent-free and easy to apply. Moreover, it offers a high build finish that seals cracks, pinholes, and small gaps. As a result, it gives a smooth and strong surface for resin art and similar applications.

Surface Preparation
  • Substrate surfaces should be freed from laitance and dust by sand-blasting. In case sand-blasting is not possible, thorough abrading with a hard wire brush should be preferable.

  • Affordable and easy to use
  • Quick curing, ideal for small batches
  • Compatible with molds, pigments, and fillers
  • Works well for both casting and repair
Q4. Does it remain completely transparent?

A4. It is initially clear, but may develop slight yellowing during curing — especially in large or thick pours due to heat (exotherm). Best for non-UV or tinted applications.

Q5. Can I use this on stone and marble?

A5. Yes — it penetrates cracks effectively and provides a strong, glossy bond for filling fine and structural cracks in marble or stone.

Q6. How should MR. JO Artcast-C10 be applied?

A6.

  1. Clean the mold or repair area

  4. Use a heat gun to remove bubbles
  5. Let cure undisturbed
Q7. What is the pot life and cure time?

A7.

  • Pot life: ~20–25 minutes at 25°C
  • Touch dry: 4–6 hours
  • Full cure: 24–36 hours
Q8. Can I pigment this resin?

A8. Yes — use MR. JO ArtPigments or other compatible epoxy-safe pigments. Adding color also helps reduce visible yellowing.

Q9. What thickness can I pour with MR. JO Artcast-C10?

A9. Ideal for thin to moderate pours (up to 10–15 mm at a time). For thicker pours, consider MR. JO Artcast-CC33.

Q10. Can I use this for tabletops or large projects?

Q11. Can I sand and polish after curing?

A11. Yes — after full cure, you can sand and buff for a smooth, glossy finish.

Q12. What should I do if bubbles appear?

A12. Use a heat gun or flame immediately after pouring to help bubbles escape. Also mix slowly to minimize air entrapment.

Q13. Can it be recoated?

A13. Yes — apply the next layer while the surface is still tacky or lightly sand the cured layer before recoating.

Q14. Will it yellow over time?

A14. Some yellowing is expected, especially in sun-exposed or thick applications. Use for non-UV, artistic, or pigmented purposes.

Q15. What is the shelf life?
