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
