NFILTRATION
Always infiltrate the most delicate features of the part first. Z-Bond resin gives almost
immediate strength to the area of the part that has been infiltrated. As you handle the
areas of the part that have been infiltrated it will be less likely to break it.
Try to avoid infiltrating the part by applying Z-Bond resin from spot to spot. Pick a good
starting place and hold that area upward relative to the rest of the part. With your free
hand, place the tip of the Z-Bond bottle against the part and allow the cyanoacrylate (CA)
to flow from the bottle. It is important that the CA flows at a uniform rate making it easier
for you the judge how quickly it will flow from the tip of the bottle before it wicks into the
part. By seeing how quickly it wicks into the part you will be able to judge where and how
quickly to move the tip of the bottle while applying the CA, being sure not to apply the CA
to the same place more than once.
If the part has delicate features, infiltrate them last as the feature will be less strong after
being infiltrated until the epoxy begins to cure. This will decrease the chance the feature
will break from the part if nudged or bumped.
If the part has multiple delicate features or it is impossible to handle the part without
breaking a feature you may infiltrate these features only. Allow the Z-Max and Z-Snap
epoxy to cure. Then infiltrate the rest of the part. This will add time to post-processing
the part but it ensures that you have a good strong part without any fractures.
