Assured durability and increased efficiency over other patented USPs. Also, as it is from trustworthy DOW, there is no question about quality of the product. It Is top-notch. Review: cool stuff - very useful product. very hydrophobic and will cure eventually in most conditions. I have used it so far to make a photo lithography style 3D printers build surface, because of its ability to resist the uv curing resin. and I repaired an above ground 5000 gallon pool that was leaking. I put a patch on the inside of the pool with the Sylgard 184 on it and a patch on the outside with some on it as well. Then I held them in place with two speaker magnets I had. Review: B9Creator VAT Coating - Bought it for the B9 Creator. Works great. for quicker cure: I built a heat box with some old fashion bulbs as the heating element. Someone said around 140-160ish degrees is best so you don't melt the acrylic VATS. Though they are coming out with aluminum and glass ones (THANK JEBUS) that are astronomically better and easier to work with. I bought a custom VAT from someone the B9creator forums and this stuff works perfect for it. Use about 45 grams of this stuff and it works perfect for me.

How much?** A: It depends on what you want to do...If you want to mix it in order to get a very homogeneous material for micro-fluidic devices. Then I recommend centrifuge mixer, then manual mixing, then centrifuge mixing again (three times), then you need to remove bubbles (the gas mixed with polymer). For that you need a vacumm chamber (60 minutes). Then to the oven 60 Celsius for 240 minutes. You can wait at room temperature one day and will polymerize anyway.If you want to use as a sealant, just manual mix 10 ml with 1 ml of the polymerizer. That will do! **Q: what is the expiration date of this product?** A: The boxes I received had a stated expiration date of July 2015, but depending on your intended application, that date may not be that important. Hope this helps,J **Q: How much area will this cover? Also, does it improve efficiency of the panel?** A: It is optically clear so it does not cut any efficiency. The amount of coverage depends on how thick but one kit generally does 36 cell panels very well if you are using in place of glass. And 1 kit will do 2 x 60 cell panels if you are repairing broken glass. **Q: can this be used to seal electronics other than solar panels?** A: It was practically made for that purpose.
