✅ Directions for Use
Mixing
- Stir thoroughly before use
- Mix 90% SI0329 High Gloss + 10% Matsui Silicone Catalyst
- Do not add pigments (clear gloss top coat)
- Mix until smooth and uniform
- Allow 5–10 minutes to release air bubbles
- Only mix what you will print within 4–6 hours
Printing
- Recommended mesh: 60–160 mesh
- Lower mesh = thicker gloss coat
- Higher mesh = thin, smooth gloss finish
- Print 1–2 strokes as top coat layer
- Light flash if applying multiple coats:
- ~220°F (104°C), 5–8 seconds
- Avoid heavy flashing — gloss reduces if overheated before cure
- Keep screens flooded to avoid drying
Pro Tip: Gloss looks best over smooth silicone layers like HD or standard Yama base.
Curing
- Cure at 300–320°F (150–160°C) for 1–2 minutes
- Ensure ink film reaches >250°F (121°C) internal temp
- Allow full dwell time to achieve mirror-finish clarity
✅ Proper cure = maximum gloss
❌ Under-curing = dull finish / weak stretch
Best Practices
✅ Use as a final top-coat only
✅ Apply over fully cured silicone ink layers
✅ Test flash timing for best clarity
✅ Store sealed to avoid contamination / dust
❌ Do NOT over-flash or over-cure (can dull gloss)
❌ Do NOT mix with plastisol or water-base inks
