Notes	Notes
Wash Castable parts for the shortest time necessary to remove liquid resin. Ensure that all solvent has evaporated or been removed from the parts before curing and casting.	Castable Wax Resin does not require post- curing. Allow parts to fully dry before casting. While post-curing Castable Wax parts should not affect castability, post- curing may shrink parts slightly (by less than 1%), which can cause distortion.
