Solus Wax Resin
I was wondering if anyone here try to cast SolusWax in platinum? I have cast many different resins including EmeralGreen and SolusCast but with no luck ( I am not the caster, I do casting outside) Any advice i greatly appreciated! Thanks

This is very strange, with phosfate based investments ( for palladium and platinum ) you can practically cast any resin, they are like cement.

Re: Solus Wax Resin
If you outsource your platinum casting, I would recommend TechFourm. http://www.techformcasting.com/ Use their HIP process. No porosity. Just send file, they will take it from there. Very reasonable priced.

Maybe the issue is more of contamination of the metal from incomplete resin combustion?

That might be the case if you follow traditional burnout, most of these investments are made for “shock” burnout, you can heat the oven to 900C and put the casting form straight into it, at 900C - everything burns, beleive me.
You might have to blow the ashes out.
What i say is, casting problems of high temp metals in phosphate investment is most probably not the resin burnout issue. Look for it somewhere else.

Thank you for recommendation. For myself I will probably try to use them but for my customers (design/print) they need everything for yesterday and they are casting in the closed area of Diamond District in NYC and non of them and there is plenty of casting companies within half a mile don`t cast platinum from resin well, and all of them state that they do cast platinum from resin. They recommendation is to make mold first and then cast. Do you have sample picture of platinum casting from resin? I would like see the others quality. Thank you!

Thank you for the picture. Mine is not even close to yours( I don`t have any picture to show). Maybe there is something with their burnout. Other metals looks great from Emerald though.
Re: Solus Wax Resin
I am doing my first test prints with Soluswax resin, the instructions say no more than 20 minutes of UV curing, is that with the more powerful units.
I have the B9 Model Cure with spec- Light-energy intensity over 40.0 mW/cm²
or a nail curing set up with much lower light intensity.
Thank you!

Re: Solus Wax Resin
That's fine. The b9 unit is the same unit that we sell, just theirs has a locked down timer.
