What the numbers mean for a pour
Pours needed with a limit of 2 in per pour. Worked out with the layer planner.

Other notes
- The hardener SDS names Polytek Development Corp. of Easton, PA as manufacturer, the same address printed on the Alumilite TDS.SDS B
- Mix thoroughly for 3-5 minutes, using a power mixer at hand speed for a gallon and stir sticks for smaller amounts.TDS
- The TDS states the cured resin is FDA compliant under 21 CFR 175.300 for food-contact surfaces.TDS
- The TDS lists tensile strength of 8420 psi, elongation of 6.30% and a shelf life of 1 year.TDS
Layering
- Projects deeper than 2 inches are built up from multiple thick layers.TDS
Temperature
- For pours of 2 gallons or more Alumilite suggests keeping the room near 65°F and running fans to shed heat.TDS
Heat
- The TDS lists a heat deflection temperature of 130°F for the cured resin.TDS
UV and color
- The resin has UV inhibitors but will still yellow over time, and Alumilite generally does not recommend it for outdoor use.TDS
Surface preparation
- For river tables Alumilite recommends sealing the wood first and making sure it is completely dry.Page
